Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooling tea leaves after withering, and in particular to a tea drum cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The temperature of the tea leaves after withering is around 80 degrees Celsius. In order to prevent the tea leaves from continuing to ferment and oxidize, which will affect the taste and aroma of the tea leaves, the tea leaves need to be quickly cooled to below 25 degrees Celsius in a short period of time.

[0003] In the prior art, the withered tea leaves are cooled by a roller cooling conveyor. The roller cooling conveyor consists of a roller and a fan. The roller rotates and is tilted. Tea leaves can be placed on the side walls of the roller for ventilation. The fan blows air to the tea leaves in the roller from the side of the roller to cool them down. During the rotation of the roller, the tea leaves on the tea pile that are not in direct contact with the roller will slide down, exposing the center of the tea pile for cooling. Therefore, the continuous rotation of the roller is a process in which the tea leaves are gradually dispersed and cooled. In order to allow the tea leaves to be fully cooled, the roller is usually long enough so that the temperature of the tea leaves is below 25 degrees Celsius when they slide out of the roller. Therefore, the roller cooling conveyor in the prior art is usually long and occupies a large factory area.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application proposes a tea drum cooling device. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application provides a tea drum cooling device, which can solve the problem of a large footprint of the drum cooling conveyor in the related art.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 4, a tea drum 2 cooling device, comprising: a frame 1, a drum 2, a support shaft 3 and a scattering structure 4, the drum 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the drum 2 is arranged to be tilted downward, and there is a drop area in the drum 2 for catching tea leaves sliding down, the support shaft 3 is arranged in the drum 2, and the support shaft 3 is connected to the frame 1, and the support shaft 3 extends along the axis direction of the drum 2, and the scattering structure 4 comprises: a rotating member 41 and a plurality of scattering parts 42, the rotating member 41 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 3, the scattering parts 42 are circumferentially connected to the rotating member 41, and the scattering parts 42 extend from the rotating member 41 to the inner wall of the drum 2, and when the scattering parts 42 move, the scattering parts 42 pass through the drop area;

[0035] When the frame 1 is placed on the ground, the frame 1 is tilted as a whole. Accordingly, the drum 2 rotating in the frame 1 is also tilted, so that the tea leaves in the drum 2 can slide from a high place to a low place. There are three scattering parts 42. During implementation, when the tea leaves in the drum 2 slide to a low place, the rotating member 41 drives the scattering part 42 to rotate on the support shaft 3. It is worth noting that the rotation direction of the scattering part 42 is opposite to the rotation direction of the drum 2. The scattering part 42 directly scatters the tea leaves through the tea pile. Compared with the traditional scattering method of turning the tea leaves by rotating the drum 2, it is undoubtedly faster to directly scatter the tea leaves through the scattering part 42, which saves a lot of time for turning the tea leaves. At the same time, the scattered tea leaves cool down more quickly than the piled tea leaves. Accordingly, after the scattering structure 4 is set in the drum 2, the drum 2 does not need to be set with a sufficient length to slowly turn the tea leaves for cooling, and the length of the drum 2 can be shortened, thereby reducing the footprint of the entire drum 2 cooling conveyor.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a support member 5 is also included;

[0037] The support member 5 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 3, the support member 5 extends toward the inner wall of the drum 2, and the support member 5 is connected to the inner wall of the drum 2;

[0038] The support member 5 is integrally sleeved on the support shaft 3, and the support member 5 is connected to the inner wall of the drum 2. When the support member 5 and the drum 2 are installed on the support shaft 3, the entire drum 2 rotates on the support shaft 3, and the axis of the support shaft 3 is colinear with the axis of the drum 2. When the drum 2 rotates, it rotates around the support shaft 3, and the scattering portion 42 also rotates on the support shaft 3. When the drum 2 is hexagonal, the scattering portion 42 will rotate close to the six sides of the drum 2, ensuring that when the drum 2 rotates, the scattering portion 42 can scatter the tea leaves on any side of the drum 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the scattering structure 4 further includes a first gear 43;

[0040] It also includes a second gear 6 and a third gear 7;

[0041] The first gear 43 is connected to both ends of the rotating member 41, the second gear 6 is connected to the supporting shaft 3, the third gear 7 is connected to the supporting member 5, the first gear 43 is meshed with the second gear 6, and the second gear 6 is meshed with the third gear 7;

[0042] The first gear 43, the second gear 6 and the third gear 7 are all bevel gears. The first gear 43 and the third gear 7 are arranged opposite to each other. When the drum 2 rotates, the third gear 7 drives the second gear 6 to rotate, and the second gear 6 drives the first gear 43 to rotate. The rotation direction of the third gear 7 is opposite to that of the first gear 43, so that the rotation direction of the drum 2 and the scattering part 42 is opposite, which can more effectively scatter the tea leaves.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the supporting members 5 is two, and the two supporting members 5 are respectively located at the two ends of the drum 2, and the scattering structure 4 is located between the two supporting members 5;

[0044] Support members 5 are installed on both ends of the drum 2, and the drum 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. In order to make the support members 5 at both ends of the drum 2 rotate in the same direction, and the rotation direction of the scattering part 42 needs to be opposite to the rotation direction of the drum 2, the scattering structure 4 is located between the two support members 5.

[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment, it also includes a driving structure 8;

[0046] The driving structure 8 includes a mounting frame 81 and two sprockets 82;

[0047] The mounting frame 81 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, a cavity exists in the mounting frame 81, the support shaft 3 is connected to the mounting frame 81, the support member 5 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 81, two sprocket wheels 82 are rotatably connected to the cavity, the support member 5 enters the cavity and is connected to one of the sprocket wheels 82, and the two sprocket wheels 82 are connected by a chain;

[0048] There are two sprockets 82 in the cavity, one of which is located above the cavity and the other is located below the cavity, driving the upper sprocket 82 to rotate, driving the lower sprocket 82 and the support member 5 to rotate through the chain, and then rotating the breaking part 42 and the drum 2 through gear transmission.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the driving structure 8 further includes a power source 83;

[0050] The power source 83 is connected to the mounting frame 81, the output end of the power source 83 penetrates into the cavity, and the output end of the power source 83 is connected to another sprocket 82;

[0051] The power source 83 is a motor, which is installed above the installation frame 81. The output end of the motor is connected to the sprocket 82 above the cavity, and the motor drives the roller 2 and the breaking structure 4 to rotate at the same time.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the breaking portion 42 is T-shaped, and a plurality of fans 9 are provided on the side of the frame 1;

[0053] The scattering portion 42 is T-shaped, which can effectively increase the close contact area between the scattering portion 42 and the inner wall of the drum 2, so that the scattering portion 42 can simultaneously scatter the tea leaves sliding down at different positions in the drum 2, and the tea leaves are quickly cooled by the fan 9 after being scattered.

[0054] Here’s how this application works:

[0055] During the implementation process, when the tea leaves slide downward in the drum 2, the sprocket 82 is driven to rotate by the power source 83, and the two sprockets 82 are driven to drive the rotating member 41 to drive the scattering part 42 to rotate on the support shaft 3. It is worth noting that the rotation direction of the scattering part 42 is opposite to the rotation direction of the drum 2. The scattering part 42 directly scatters the tea leaves after passing through the tea pile. The scattering part 42 is T-shaped, which can effectively increase the close contact area between the scattering part 42 and the inner wall of the drum 2.
