Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing, in particular to a high-efficiency tea drying device. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional tea processing process, drying is one of the key steps to ensure the quality of tea. The purpose of drying is to remove moisture from tea, prevent the growth of microorganisms, and promote changes in the chemical composition of tea, thereby forming a unique aroma and taste. When using existing drying devices, most of them directly place the tea leaves on the top of the tray and then put them into the drying device for drying. The tea leaves cannot be moved during the drying process, so it takes a long time to dry the tea leaves. In addition, the drying effect of the tea leaves at the bottom is not good, and the drying is not uniform, resulting in a decrease in the drying efficiency of the tea leaves. At the same time, after drying, the staff needs to reach into the interior of the drying device to take out the tea leaves, and the residual heat will burn the staff, thereby affecting the safety of the staff at work.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN219656495U discloses a highly efficient tea drying device. It comprises a box body, a box door is arranged on the front of the box body, one side of the box door is hinged to one side of the front of the box body, a heating mechanism is fixed to the inner cavity of the box body, and a moving mechanism is fixed to one side of the box body. The utility model can blow air from different positions to the drying shell through the cooperation of the first fan and the blowing mechanism, so that the tea leaves in the drying shell can move inside the drying shell, which not only increases the drying effect of the tea leaves, but also improves the drying efficiency of the tea leaves. At the same time, under the action of the moving mechanism, it is convenient for the staff to put in and take out the tea leaves, reducing the possibility of scalding the staff by residual heat, improving the safety of the staff at work, and solving the problem that the current device has poor drying efficiency and low safety when in use.

[0004] In the specific use of the above-mentioned prior art, the drying shell is moved out of the box body by a moving mechanism, and then the shell cover is opened to put the tea leaves to be dried into the drying shell, and then the shell cover is closed, and the drying shell containing the tea leaves is moved into the box body by a moving mechanism. However, since the opening of the drying shell is arranged at the bottom, when the shell cover is opened, it is difficult to put the tea leaves into the drying shell, and when the tea leaves are put into the drying shell, they will still be in a piled state, and there will still be uneven drying. In view of this, we propose a high-efficiency tea drying device. Utility Model Content
