Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of black tea production, in particular to an air-cooling conveyor for black tea production. Background Art

[0002] Black tea is the young leaves or buds of the tea plant of the family Theaceae. Black tea is not grown naturally, but was made from green tea in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is made from suitable new buds and leaves of tea trees, and is refined through a series of processes such as withering, rolling (cutting), fermentation, and drying. The fermentation causes a chemical reaction in the ingredients in the tea leaves, and when brewed with water, it not only has a pleasant aroma, but also presents a unique dark red tea color, so it is called "black tea". The processing technology of black tea mainly includes the steps of picking, withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying.

[0003] According to a Chinese patent with the announcement number "CN219078175U", an air-cooled conveyor for producing black tea leaves is disclosed, which includes a shell, a support frame located at the bottom of the shell and supporting it, and a conveyor belt installed inside the shell to convey the black tea leaves, and the shell extends upward and its upper end height is higher than the upper end height of the conveyor belt. The utility model has the following advantages and effects: through a plurality of fan bodies slidably connected to the slide rail, the black tea leaves on the conveyor belt below can be air-cooled and dissipated, improving the cooling efficiency while ensuring the processing progress, and can be rotated in the threaded groove by screwing the bolt according to the use requirements, so as to be threadedly connected or disengaged with the first slider, the fan body is placed between the four first sliders arranged opposite to each other, and the number and position of the fan bodies can be adjusted by adjusting the position and number of the first sliders, which is flexible.

[0004] However, black tea usually clumps together after the rolling process, and needs to be manually shaken out before being conveyed to the next process.
