Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tea processing equipment, in particular to a tea leaf green storage machine. Background Art

[0002] Green storage, also known as spreading and cooling for green storage, is a process. Since fresh tea leaves still have a certain degree of activity after being picked from the tea tree, with the respiration process, organic substances are continuously decomposed, generating water vapor and heat. Through green storage, the leaf temperature can be reduced to prevent the tea leaves from being spoiled and turning red. Through green storage, the concentration of cell sap in the tea leaves can be increased, the activities of hydrolase and oxidase can be enhanced, and the flavor of the tea soup can be improved.

[0003] Traditional green storage relies on manual spreading or mechanical stirring to turn the tea leaves. Otherwise, the problem of uneven cooling will occur (see the background art of the tea leaf green storage machine with application number 202223007784.X and a tea fresh leaf green storage device with application number 202320955779.7). Manual spreading has low work efficiency, and mechanical stirring is likely to damage the tea leaves. The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a device to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a tea leaf green storage machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: It includes a frame, a transverse moving plate, a turntable, and a grille plate. A fan is installed at the rear of the frame. Several green storage cavities are formed along the height direction of the frame. The transverse moving plate is located in the green storage cavity and can move horizontally to form a moving pair with the frame. The turntable is installed on the transverse moving plate and can rotate to form a rotating pair with the transverse moving plate. The turntable is used to place tea leaves. The bottom of the grille plate is connected to the turntable, and each grille is annularly distributed on the top surface of the turntable.

[0006] To optimize the above technical solution, a further measure is taken: The horizontal moving direction of the transverse moving plate is perpendicular to the air flow direction of the fan to prevent the transverse moving plate from moving horizontally out of the green storage cavity under the action of the air flow.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: Each grille plate is annularly and equidistantly distributed on the top surface of the turntable with the center of the turntable as the center, ensuring that the center of the grille plate coincides with the center of the turntable.

[0008] As an improvement to the foregoing technical solution: The grille plate is inclined and does not point to the center of the turntable. The spacing between the grille plates is such that tea leaves cannot pass through. During the rotation of the turntable, the inclined grille plate makes it difficult for the tea leaves to run out, achieving air permeability and heat dissipation while preventing the tea leaves from separating from the turntable.

[0009] From the above description of the structure of the present utility model, compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0010] A tea leaf withering machine provided by the utility model redistributes tea leaves on a turntable through an air flow generated by a fan, and cooperates with the centrifugal force formed during the rotation of the turntable, so as to achieve comprehensive withering without mechanical stirring or manual mixing, and can realize comprehensive withering of tea leaves with little damage to tea leaves during the withering process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] In the figure: frame - 1, fan - 101, withering chamber - 102, transverse moving plate - 2, turntable - 3, grid plate - 4 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0017] Embodiment

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the utility model provides a tea leaf withering machine, including a frame 1, a transverse moving plate 2, a turntable 3 and a grid plate 4. A fan 101 is installed at the rear side of the frame 1, and several withering chambers 102 are formed on the frame 1 along the height direction of the frame 1. The withering chamber 102 refers to a cavity component for performing withering operations.

[0019] The transverse moving plate 2 is located in the withering chamber 102 and can move horizontally to form a moving pair with the frame 1. The horizontal moving direction of the transverse moving plate 2 is perpendicular to the air flow direction of the fan 101.

[0020] The turntable 3 is installed on the transverse moving plate 2 and can rotate to form a rotating pair with the transverse moving plate 2. The turntable 3 is used to place tea leaves.

[0021] The grille plate 4 refers to a plate-shaped component with a grille-like surface formed with numerous openings. The bottom of the grille plate 4 is connected to the turntable 3. Each grille plate 4 is annularly and equidistantly distributed on the top surface of the turntable 3 with the center of the turntable 3 as the center point. The grille plate 4 is inclined and does not point to the center of the turntable 3. The spacing of the grille plate 4 is such that tea leaves cannot pass through.

[0022] Working principle: The operator pulls the transverse movement plate 2 to make the turntable 3 leave the green tea storage cavity 102. Then, the tea leaves are placed in the turntable 3, and the transverse movement plate 2 is pushed into the green tea storage cavity 102 and the fan 101 is started. The airflow generated by the fan 101 can enter the green tea storage cavity 102 through the openings on the grille plate 4 and the gaps between the grille plates 4 to cool the tea leaves to achieve green tea storage. After the green tea storage is completed, the transverse movement plate 2 can be pulled outwards to take out the tea leaves.

[0023] After the airflow generated by the fan 101 enters through the grille plate 4, it can drive the tea leaves to redistribute on the turntable 3. The grille plate 4 is pushed by the airflow generated by the fan 101, which will cause the turntable 3 to rotate on the transverse movement plate 2. During the rotation process, the tea leaves will move to the outside of the turntable 3 due to centrifugal force. During the green tea storage process, the tea leaves will continuously repeat the process of redistribution - outward movement, so as to realize the turning of the tea leaves. Without mechanical stirring or manual mixing, the tea leaves can be fully turned during the green tea storage process, and full green tea storage can be achieved.

[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
