Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea making and discloses a tea steaming and pressing machine. Background Art

[0002] Tea is a traditional industry in my country with a long history. In the process of tea making, there is a process called killing green tea, which destroys and passivates the oxidase activity in fresh tea leaves through high temperature, inhibits the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols in fresh leaves, evaporates part of the moisture in fresh leaves, softens the tea leaves, and facilitates rolling and shaping. At the same time, it emits a green smell and promotes the formation of a good aroma. In modern technology, a steam generator is generally used as a device to generate high temperature, and the tea leaves are killed under the steam generator.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with announcement number: CN211746639U discloses an all-in-one machine for steaming, softening and pressing tea leaves. This device integrates tea steaming and pressing inside the same box. The weighed tea leaves are first steamed with a steaming cylinder, and then the steaming cylinder is pushed to push the tea leaves into a pressing groove. The tea leaves are pressed into shape using a pressing device. The process is simple, which reduces the workload of tea makers and improves the efficiency of tea pressing.

[0004] The above devices all use high-temperature steam to soften and wither the tea leaves. However, when this method is used in a factory, due to a large amount of steam leakage, the temperature in the factory will remain high, which will not only affect the working environment of the workers, but also affect the temperature control when the tea leaves are withered, and also waste a lot of steam. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model proposes the following solutions:

[0006] A tea steaming and pressing machine comprises a base box, a steam furnace is arranged in the base box, a rotating slider is rotatably mounted on the gas output pipe of the steam furnace, a handle is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating slider to assist the rotation of the rotating slider, a lower steaming net is fixedly mounted on the base box, the lower steaming net is rotatably connected to the rotating slider, a fixed cylinder is fixedly mounted in the lower steaming net, a rotating cylinder is rotatably mounted on the fixed cylinder, the rotating cylinder is in close contact with the fixed cylinder, and the rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the rotating slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed cylinder is provided with a conical surface, and a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the conical surface of the fixed cylinder. The rotating cylinder is provided with a plurality of closed holes. In an initial state, the ventilation holes on the fixed cylinder are aligned with the closed holes on the rotating cylinder. In this state, airflow can pass through the ventilation holes and the closed holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a tea steaming and pressing machine comprises a base box 101, wherein a steam furnace is arranged in the base box 101, a rotating slider 102 is rotatably mounted on the gas output pipe of the steam furnace, a handle is also fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating slider 102 to assist the rotating slider 102 in rotating, a lower steaming net 201 is fixedly mounted on the base box 101, the lower steaming net 201 is rotatably connected with the rotating slider 102, a buckle block 202 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the lower steaming net 201, a buckle torsion spring 203 is fixedly mounted on the buckle block 202, the other end of the buckle torsion spring 203 is fixedly mounted on the lower steaming net 201, a fixed cylinder 205 is fixedly mounted in the lower steaming net 201, and the fixed cylinder 205 is fixedly mounted in the lower steaming net 201. 05 is provided with a conical surface, and a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the conical surface of the fixed cylinder 205. A rotating cylinder 204 is rotatably installed on the fixed cylinder 205. The rotating cylinder 204 is in close contact with the fixed cylinder 205. A plurality of closed holes are provided on the rotating cylinder 204. In an initial state, the ventilation holes on the fixed cylinder 205 are aligned with the closed holes on the rotating cylinder 204. In this state, air can pass through the ventilation holes and the closed holes. The rotating cylinder 204 is fixedly connected with the rotating slider 102. When the rotating slider 102 is manually rotated, the rotating slider 102 drives the rotating cylinder 204 to rotate, so that the ventilation holes on the fixed cylinder 205 and the closed holes on the rotating cylinder 204 can be misaligned, thereby preventing steam leakage.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a plurality of support frames 103 for supporting are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower steaming net 201, an upper top cover 104 is fixedly installed on one end of the support frame 103 away from the lower steaming net 201, a top sealing cover 105 is rotatably installed on one end of the upper top cover 104 away from the lower steaming net 201, and the top sealing cover 105 can be used to open and place tea leaves, a folding cover 106 is fixedly installed on the other end of the upper top cover 104, the material of the folding cover 106 is PFA material, and the folding cover 106 is in a folded state in the initial state, a plurality of pull rings 107 are fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the folding cover 106 away from the upper top cover 104, and the pull ring 107 can fit with one end of the lower steaming net 201 close to the top sealing cover 105.

[0019] Working principle: When the device is working, if the tea leaves need to be withered or softened, the tea leaves are placed in the lower steaming net 201. If the lower steaming net 201 is full, the pull ring 107 can be pulled to allow the pull ring 107 to be stuck on the buckle block 202, and the space between the lower steaming net 201 and the upper top cover 104 is filled with the folding cover 106, so that the lower steaming net 201 forms a closed chamber, and then the top cover 105 on the upper top cover 104 is opened, and the tea leaves are placed in the lower steaming net 201 from the top cover 105. After the tea leaves are filled, the top cover 105 can be closed, and then the steam furnace in the base box 101 is started, and the gas in the steam furnace enters the lower steaming net 201 through the vent holes and the closed holes.

[0020] When the tea leaves need to be taken out, the rotating slider 102 is rotated to cause the closed holes on the rotating cylinder 204 to be misaligned with the vent holes on the fixed cylinder 205, thereby preventing steam waste. After that, the buckle block 202 can be pressed, and the pulling ring 107 can be pulled to separate the pulling ring 107 from the contact with the lower steaming net 201, thereby opening the lower steaming net 201 and taking out the tea leaves.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
