[0022] The utility model embodiment provides a device for uniform humidification of Pu'er tea fermentation, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the Pu'er tea fermentation uniform humidification device comprises: a box 1, wherein a containing box 2 is provided in the box 1, wherein the containing box 2 is used to contain tea leaves that need to be humidified, and a plurality of openings are provided at the bottom of the containing box 2; a water tank 3, wherein the water tank 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the box 1, wherein a water pump 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the water tank 3, wherein a water inlet end of the water pump 4 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 5, wherein the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 5 extends into the water tank 3, wherein a water outlet end of the water pump 4 is fixedly connected to a corrugated water outlet pipe 6, wherein the water outlet end of the corrugated water outlet pipe 6 extends into the box 1 and is provided with an atomizing nozzle 7; a frame 8, wherein the frame 8 is slidably mounted in the box 1, wherein the frame 8 is connected to the bottom of the containing box 2, wherein a cam 9 is rotatably mounted in the frame 8, wherein the cam 9 contacts the inner wall of the frame 8; a drive motor 10, wherein the drive motor 10 is fixedly mounted on one side of the box 1, wherein the output shaft of the drive motor 10 is connected to the cam 9.
[0023] In this embodiment, the box 1 serves as the main structure of the entire humidification device, providing a platform for installation and operation of other components, ensuring the closedness and stability of the humidification process. The holding box 2 is used to hold tea leaves that need to be humidified. The multiple openings provided at the bottom allow the humidified water vapor to evenly penetrate into the tea leaves, promoting the uniform fermentation of the tea leaves. A series of components including a water tank 3, a water pump 4, a water inlet pipe 5, a corrugated water outlet pipe 6, and an atomizing nozzle 7 constitute the core of the humidification system. The water tank 3 stores water, and the water pump 4 draws water from the water tank 3 through the water inlet pipe 5 and transports the water to the atomizing nozzle 7 in the box 1 through the corrugated water outlet pipe 6. , the water flow is atomized into fine water mist and sprayed on the tea leaves, thereby achieving uniform humidification of the tea leaves. The design of the corrugated water outlet pipe 6 increases the flexibility of the water flow, which is convenient for flexible arrangement in the box body 1. The combination of the frame 8, the cam 9, and the drive motor 10 is used to realize the automatic shaking function of the holding box 2, so that there is no need to manually turn the tea leaves at a fixed time. The frame 8 is slidably installed in the box body 1 and is connected to the bottom of the holding box 2. The drive motor 10 drives the frame 8 to reciprocate in the box body 1 through the cam 9, thereby driving the holding box 2 and the tea leaves to shake, which not only promotes the uniform fermentation of the tea leaves, but also significantly reduces the labor intensity.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, fixing rods 11 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box body 1, and sliding rods 12 are slidably installed on the two fixing rods 11, and one end of the two sliding rods 12 is fixed to the two sides of the frame 8 respectively.
[0025] In this embodiment, the fixed rod 11 is installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box body 1, and serves as a support and guide structure to provide a stable trajectory for the sliding of the sliding rod 12. The sliding rod 12 is slidably installed on the fixed rod 11, and one end of the sliding rod 12 is fixed to both sides of the frame 8, so that the frame 8 (and the holding box 2 and tea leaves connected thereto) can slide back and forth along the trajectory of the fixed rod 11 under the drive of the driving motor 10 and the cam 9. This sliding mechanism not only realizes the automatic turning of the tea leaves, but also ensures the stability and consistency of the turning process, and avoids the scattering and damage of the tea leaves during the turning process.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a return spring 13 is fixedly installed in the fixing rod 11 , and one end of the return spring 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 12 .
[0027] In this embodiment, the return spring 13 is fixedly installed in the fixed rod 11, and one end of the return spring 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 12, so that after the sliding rod 12 is pushed by an external force (such as the force transmitted by the drive motor 10 through the cam 9), it can automatically reset under the elastic force of the return spring 13, making the sliding and resetting process of the sliding rod 12 more automated and smooth. Driven by the drive motor 10, the sliding rod 12 can smoothly slide along the fixed rod 11 to push the frame 8 and the tea leaves to flip, and when the external force disappears, the return spring 13 will automatically pull the sliding rod 12 back to its original position to prepare for the next flipping. This automated design further reduces the burden of manual operation.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a transverse screw 14 is rotatably installed on the box body 1, a slide 15 is threadedly installed on the transverse screw 14, the slide 15 is connected to the corrugated water outlet pipe 6, and the slide 15 is slidably fitted with the top inner wall of the box body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the transverse screw 14 is rotatably installed on the housing 1, and serves as a driving element for adjusting the position of the corrugated water outlet pipe 6.
