Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aroma recovery, and particularly relates to an aroma recovery system. Background Art

[0002] The recovery of the aroma of tea leaves during drying refers to the technology of collecting and reusing the emitted aroma compounds during the drying process of tea leaves. China is a major tea-producing and -consuming country. During the tea processing, dryers are often used to reduce the moisture content of tea leaves to fix the quality and facilitate storage. When tea leaves are dried, aroma compounds are released. These compounds have various pharmacological effects. For example, β-ionone can regulate the activity or expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins, promoting apoptosis and anti-apoptosis proteins; linalool is the main compound in the aroma of oolong tea, with effects such as analgesia, anti-anxiety, sedation and hypnosis. However, the tea fragrance generated during the previous drying process often dissipates with the air circulation and cannot be well utilized.

[0003] The Chinese patent with the publication number "CN220140724U" discloses an aroma recovery device for mulberry leaf tea extraction, which includes a drying device and an aroma recovery device. The drying device includes a drying box, a drying chamber, a first heating device and a blowing device; the aroma recovery device includes a gas mixing device, a condensation device, a n-hexane steam generating device and an aroma collection device. The gas mixing device is connected to the drying chamber through a first air pipe, the n-hexane steam generating device is connected to the air inlet of the gas mixing device through an exhaust pipe, and the condensation device is connected between the gas mixing device and the aroma collection device. The utility model dries and processes mulberry leaf tea through the first heating device and the blowing device, and at the same time extracts and recovers the aroma of mulberry leaf tea by using the aroma recovery device, improving the resource utilization rate of mulberry leaf tea. At the same time, the n-hexane can be recycled during the aroma extraction and recovery process, and the overall efficiency of the device is relatively high, realizing the utilization of the aroma resources generated during the drying and processing of mulberry leaf tea, and having great commercial value.

[0004] During the use of the above device, although it can play a good role in condensing and recovering the aroma, there are still certain defects in the specific application process. First of all, the structure of its collection device is relatively simple. During the aroma recovery process, once the condensate collected inside the collection device reaches the full load state, the device operation must be stopped, and then the collection device is replaced, and then production can be resumed. Moreover, the collection device is not easy to be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the operation during the overall use process is quite cumbersome, resulting in relatively low production and processing efficiency. In view of this, it is very necessary to improve it. For example, in the actual large-scale tea production, the frequent shutdown and replacement of the collection device will seriously affect the production progress, increase the production cost, and reduce the market competitiveness of the enterprise. Therefore, in order to improve the production efficiency and economic benefits, it is extremely urgent to optimize and improve the existing collection device. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Reference Figures 1 - 3, the condensation mechanism 5 includes a condensate tank 51 which is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 4. A condensate pipe 52 is fixedly installed inside the condensate tank 51. The input end of the condensate pipe 52 is communicated with the exhaust air funnel 3 through a hose. The bottom of the condensate pipe 52 is communicated with the input end of the collecting pipe 61. The collecting pipes 61 are arranged at equal intervals in a circular pattern and fixedly connected to the bottom of the condensate tank 51. The inside of the condensate tank 51 is filled with a condensate liquid. The output end of the condensate pipe 52 is fixedly installed with an exhaust pipe 53. In the middle of one side of the condensate tank 51, a mounting seat 54 is fixedly installed. Inside the mounting seat 54, a thermoelectric cooler 55 is fixedly installed.

The condensate pipe 52 inside is communicated with the exhaust air funnel 3 through a hose to achieve efficient heat exchange. The collecting pipes 61 arranged at equal intervals in a circular pattern ensure the uniform collection of the condensate liquid. The condensate liquid filled in the condensate tank 51 and the thermoelectric cooler 55 work together to effectively maintain a low temperature and improve the condensation effect. The concave-shaped and L-shaped design of the mounting frame 4, as well as the triangular support plate 7 at the inner corner, enhance the overall stability and support force. This design makes the condensation mechanism 5 stable and reliable during operation, and can continuously and effectively condense the gas discharged from the tea dryer 2, ensuring the recovery efficiency and quality of the aroma. For example, in large-scale tea processing, it can operate stably and meet the high-intensity work requirements.

[0028] Principle of use and advantages: By setting the condensation mechanism 5, during the use of this device, when the tea dryer 2 is operating for drying, the flue gas generated inside the tea dryer 2 can be discharged into the condensate pipe 52 inside the condensate tank 51 through the exhaust air funnel 3, enabling the condensate liquid inside the condensate tank 51 to cool down the condensate pipe 52, promoting the rapid cooling of the flue gas inside the condensate pipe 52. At this time, the remaining gas after condensation can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 53, and the condensate water with aroma generated by the condensation can be discharged into the inside of the collecting mechanism 6. During the condensation process, the thermoelectric cooler 55 can be started to operate, and the thermoelectric cooler 55 cools down the condensate liquid inside the condensate tank 51, enabling the condensate water to always maintain a relatively low temperature and ensuring the condensation effect of this device.

[0029] By setting up the collecting mechanism 6, the device can be guided by the collecting tube 61 during use. During use, a certain solenoid valve 62 can be opened, and the condensed liquid in the condenser tube 52 can be discharged into the corresponding collecting bottle 64 through the solenoid valve 62. When the condensed liquid in the collecting bottle 64 is full, the corresponding solenoid valve 62 can be closed, and then another solenoid valve 62 can be opened. Similarly, during the process of disassembling and assembling the collecting bottle 64, the condensed liquid can be circulated and collected through other collecting bottles 64, so that the device can be continuously and uninterruptedly collected without stopping the equipment for collection, thereby improving the overall production and processing efficiency of the device. In addition, during the production and processing, when it is necessary to disassemble and assemble, it is only necessary to press the button 6337 to drive the push plate 6336 to push the slider 6333 to slide. The slider 6333 is on the side mounting frame 6331. When the slider 6333 is moved inwardly, the slider 6333 contacts the limit spring 6332 and contracts. At this time, the block 6335 on the top plate 6334 can be separated from the bracket 632. At this time, the collecting bottle 64 can be removed. When installing, it is only necessary to insert the connector 631 on the collecting bottle 64 into the interior of the solenoid valve 62, release the button 6337, and the limit spring 6332 will reset to drive the slider 6333 to move outward. The outward movement of the slider 6333 can drive the block 6335 on the top plate 6334 to be inserted into the interior of the bracket 632. The bracket 632 and the block 6335 limit each other, so that the collecting bottle 64 can be quickly installed, so that the device can carry out continuous and uninterrupted collection. At the same time, the overall disassembly and replacement is relatively convenient, so that the overall application production and processing efficiency of the device is relatively high, and the overall production and processing efficiency can also be improved.
