Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fermentation equipment for fermented tea, in particular to a fermentation tank structure for fermented tea. Background Art

[0002] Fermented tea refers to a general term for tea that has undergone the "fermentation" process in the tea making process. After the tea buds and leaves are made into raw tea through the initial processing processes of withering, rolling, cutting, fermentation, and drying, the tea that is then refined is fermented tea. It can be divided into lightly fermented tea, semi-fermented tea, fully fermented tea, and post-fermented tea. Tea that does not go through the fermentation process is the so-called green tea. During the production process, the chlorophyll in the tea leaves is destroyed and the fermentation degree ranges from 20% to 70%. This is semi-fermented tea. Tea that is 100% fermented is called black tea because the color of the tea after brewing is bright red or dark red, which is very distinctive. Among the six major types of tea, black tea is post-fermented tea.

[0003] In order to accelerate the fermentation of tea leaves by microorganisms, a fermentation tank is needed. Patent publication number CN214802090U discloses an efficient black tea fermentation equipment, which relates to the field of tea fermentation. An efficient black tea fermentation equipment comprises a supporting column, a welded supporting frame is supported and installed on the top surface of the supporting column, and a main fermentation tank is welded and installed on the inner side of the welded supporting frame, an auxiliary fermentation tank is fixedly installed on the right wall of the main fermentation tank, a fermentation cover is provided on the top of the main fermentation tank, and a feeding pipe is connected to the upper right side of the fermentation cover, a tea feeding device is installed on the right side of the feeding pipe, a straight pipe is connected to the top of the fermentation cover, and the bottom end of the straight pipe at the top is connected to a temperature regulating device, the left wall of the temperature regulating device is fixedly installed on the right side of a pressure regulating pump, and a connecting flange is installed on the top surface of the pressure regulating pump, a maintenance ladder is fixedly installed on the right side of the main fermentation tank, a guardrail is welded on the outside of the main fermentation tank, and an exhaust duct is connected to the left side of the main fermentation tank.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art solution has the following defects: the angle of the fermentation tank cannot be adjusted during use, and the tea leaves are easily retained inside the fermentation tank during unloading, requiring the operator to unload the tea leaves manually, resulting in a slow unloading speed and increased unloading time. Utility Model Content

[0017] The present embodiment can facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the fermentation tank 3 and facilitate the unloading of tea leaves inside the fermentation tank 3 by providing the unloading mechanism 7 .

[0018] refer to Figure 1 A bearing seat 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the surface of the fermentation tank 3 , the bottom of the bearing seat 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 703 , and the bottom of the branch pipe 10 is connected to an atomizing nozzle 14 .

[0019] This embodiment can position the fermentation tank 3 by setting the bearing seat 13 to prevent the fermentation tank 3 from being separated from the bracket 703. The atomizing nozzle 14 can be used to evenly spray the fermentation liquid on the surface of the tea leaves to facilitate the fermentation of the tea leaves.

[0020] refer to Figure 3 A fixing frame 15 is sleeved on the right side of the surface of the fermentation tank 3 , the bottom of the fixing frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 2 , and a filter screen 16 is laterally fixedly connected to the interior of the box body 8 .

[0021] In this embodiment, the position of the fermentation tank 3 can be limited by the setting of the fixing frame 15 to prevent the fermentation tank 3 from being separated from the movable plate 2. The fermentation liquid entering the box body 8 can be filtered by the setting of the filter screen 16 to prevent debris from clogging the branch pipe 10 and the atomizing nozzle 14.

[0022] refer to Figure 4 A feed hole is provided on the right side of the top of the box body 8, and the front and back sides of the inner wall of the feed hole are movably connected with a block 17 through a second rotating shaft.
