Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea production and discloses a tea withering and fermenting device. Background Art

[0002] The withering process is an important process in tea processing and is applicable to all major types of tea. The fresh leaves are spread out at a certain thickness, and the moisture of the fresh tea leaves is evaporated under suitable temperature and humidity, the substances contained in the leaves are transformed, and the tea leaves are wilted. The freshly picked leaves have a high moisture content and are not suitable for direct processing and should be avoided from stacking. The main purpose of withering is to reduce the moisture content of the fresh leaves and branches, promote the activity of fresh leaf enzymes, and make the substances contained in the leaves undergo appropriate physical and chemical changes. The chemical reactions produced by the withering process involve a wide range of areas and are closely related to the subsequent processing of the tea leaves as well as the aroma, taste, and soup color of the tea leaves. A good withering process makes the finished tea leaves have a higher and longer aroma, a fresher taste, and a brighter soup color.

[0003] However, the patents in the prior art have the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The tea leaves will pile up together, resulting in inconsistent with the degree of withering of the plugs in different positions.

[0005] (2) The withering effect is poor and the moisture on the surface of the tea leaves cannot be effectively dried. Utility Model Content

A vibration component 4 is provided under the placement seat 2 to vibrate the drying box 3 to prevent the tea leaves from piling up. A fermentation tank 5 is provided at the bottom of the collecting pipe 104 to ferment the tea leaves. The collecting pipe 104 can collect the tea leaves dropped from above and transport them to the fermentation tank 5. A discharge pipe 501 is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank 5 to discharge the processed tea leaves. A valve 502 is provided inside the discharge pipe 501, and a fan 6 is provided at the top of the drying box 1.

[0036] Specifically, the vibration assembly 4 includes a slide post 401, and there are four slide posts 401. The slide posts 401 are located at the four corners of the placement seat 2. The placement seat 2 is sleeved with the slide posts 401, and the placement seat 2 can move up and down along the slide posts 401. The bottom end of the slide post 401 has a limit ring 404, which can prevent the placement seat 2 from separating from the slide post 401.
