Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a tea fermentation machine. Background Art
[0002] The tea fermentation machine can not only improve the efficiency and quality of tea fermentation, but also ensure the consistency and stability of tea, and is an important and indispensable equipment in modern tea processing.
[0003] Although the current technology has many advantages, its disadvantage is that when some tea is fermented, it may need to be turned to a certain extent. Therefore, some fermentation machines use a vertical tank as the main body and install a stirrer inside. However, this will result in a lower temperature in the area far from the heating element and a higher temperature in the area close to the heating element. Relying solely on the stirrer is difficult to change the three-dimensional position of the tea inside the tank, and it is impossible to make the tea evenly heated, resulting in inconsistent fermentation degrees of the tea in different regions. Uneven fermentation will lead to inconsistent color, aroma and taste of the tea, affecting the overall quality of the tea. Moreover, during the heating process of the tea, if the heating is uneven, it will also lead to incomplete drying. The incompletely dried tea is easy to absorb moisture, resulting in mildew and shortening the shelf life of the tea. Summary of the Utility Model

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a tea fermentation machine, including: a fermentation cylinder 1, the inner surface of the fermentation cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of electric heaters 21 and flaps 22, the outer surface of the fermentation cylinder 1 is threadedly connected with a sealing cover 20, the inner surface of the fermentation cylinder 1 is movably embedded with two second positioning rods 2 and first positioning rods 6, the outer surfaces of the two second positioning rods 2 are movably sleeved with second semi-circular plates 3, the second semi-circular plates 3 are provided with second fixing blocks 4 through pins, the outer surfaces of the second fixing blocks 4 are fixedly installed with first rotating rods 5, the outer surfaces of the two first positioning rods 6 are movably sleeved with first semi-circular plates 7, the first semi-circular plates 7 are provided with first fixing blocks 8 through pins, the outer surfaces of the first fixing blocks 8 are fixedly installed with first rotating shafts 9, the outer surfaces of the first rotating shafts 9 and the first rotating rods 5 are both movably sleeved with two first support plates 10, the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed with a ratchet wheel 11, and a power mechanism and a limiting mechanism are arranged on the outer surface of one of the first support plates 10. To a certain extent, the color, aroma and taste of the tea are made consistent, ensuring the overall quality of the tea. Moreover, the tea is evenly heated, the tea is thoroughly dried, reducing the possibility of tea mildew, and extending the shelf life of the tea to a certain extent.
[0019] As Figure 4 shown, the limiting mechanism includes a second rotating rod 12, the second rotating rod 12 is movably embedded in the inner surface of one of the first support plates 10, the outer surface of the second rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected with a spring 13 and a pawl 15, one side of the spring 13 away from the second rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected with a fixed rod 14, the fixed rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first support plate 10, and the fixed rod 14 can position the spring 13 and provide a good working environment for the spring 13.
[0020] As Figure 4As shown, the power mechanism includes a motor 18, a support plate 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor 18, the support plate 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one of the support plates 10, the motor 18 is provided with a rotating shaft 16 through an output shaft, and a driving wheel 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16. The motor 18 provides power for the rotating shaft 16, so that the rotating shaft 16 drives the driving wheel 17 to rotate.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the second rotating shaft 16 is movably embedded in the outer surface of one of the support plates 10, and the support plate 10 can support the device to prevent the device from tilting and being damaged.
[0022] Working principle: This equipment is a tea fermentation machine. When in use, tea leaves are introduced into the fermentation cylinder 1, and then the sealing cover 20 is tightened, and then the motor 18 on the support plate 19 is started. The motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate through the output shaft, and the rotating shaft 16 drives the ratchet 11 to rotate intermittently through the driving wheel 17. The ratchet 11 moves the pawl 15, so that the pawl 15 drives the spring 13 on the fixed rod 14 to deform through the rotating rod 12, so that the spring 13 obtains elastic potential energy, and the ratchet 11 drives the fixed block 8 to rotate through the rotating shaft 9, and the fixed block 8 drives the semicircular plate 7 to move through the pin, and the semicircular plate 7 drives the fermentation cylinder 1 to move through the positioning rod 6. When the fermentation cylinder 1 moves, the positioning rod 22 on the fermentation cylinder 1 drives the semicircular plate 23 to move, and the semicircular plate 23 drives the fixed block 24 to move through the pin, and the fixed block 24 drives the rotating rod 5 on the support plate The inner surface of the fermentation cylinder 10 follows the movement, because when the rotating shaft 9 rotates, it will give the semicircular plate 7 a forward or backward and upward or downward force, so that the fermentation cylinder 1 can move forward, backward, upward and downward, and when the rotating rod 5 follows the rotation, it will give the fermentation cylinder 1 a left and right force, so that the fermentation cylinder 1 will move left and right when moving forward, backward, upward and downward, so that the fermentation cylinder 1 can achieve three-dimensional rotation, so that the tea leaves can move in three dimensions. When the fermentation cylinder 1 rotates intermittently, the flap 22 will turn the tea leaves over, so that the tea leaves themselves rotate, so that the tea leaves are heated evenly, and the electric heater 21 can provide heat for the tea leaves. When the ratchet 11 does not rotate due to the rotation of the driving wheel 17, the clockwork 13 releases the elastic potential energy, so that the pawl 15 is stuck on the ratchet 11, to prevent the ratchet 11 from rotating in the opposite direction due to the dead weight of the fermentation cylinder 1.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes and apply it to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
