Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of enrichment devices, in particular to an enrichment device for volatile substances. Background Art

[0002] In the research on the aroma of tea, the enrichment device for volatile aroma substances plays a crucial role. Volatile aroma substances refer to compounds that can exist in a gaseous state at a specific temperature. These substances not only affect the flavor of tea but also determine its sensory characteristics. Devices for enriching tea volatile substances usually include techniques such as solid-phase microextraction, dynamic headspace extraction, and cold trap concentration. These advanced enrichment devices can efficiently extract volatile components from tea and increase the concentration of these components for subsequent gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. For example, the solid-phase microextraction technique uses an adsorption material coated on a fine fiber to effectively capture the aroma emitted by tea in an anhydrous environment and then analyze its specific components.

[0003] When the enrichment device for volatile substances is used for tea, tea and water are usually placed together in the device to analyze the aroma of the brewed tea. Some existing tea is in a static state during the brewing process, resulting in relatively slow aroma volatilization. Therefore, more time is required during the aroma enrichment process. Thus, this problem needs to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

The surfaces of the two sealing plates close to the first rotating shaft are fixedly connected with baffle plates, and a moving mechanism for moving the sealing plate is arranged on the surfaces of the two baffle plates. Through the arrangement of the sealing plate, the leakage hole can be plugged.

[0008] As a further solution of the present utility model, the moving mechanism includes a collar, the collar is sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft, a support arm is fixedly connected to the surface of the collar close to the sealing plate, a receiving groove is formed at the end of the support arm away from the first rotating shaft, two limiting rods are slidably connected to one side inside the two receiving grooves, the other ends of the two limiting rods are fixedly connected with the same adjusting plate, the adjusting plate is arranged in cooperation with the baffle plate, springs are sleeved on the surfaces of the two limiting rods, one ends of the two springs are fixedly connected to one side inside the receiving groove, and the other ends of the two springs are fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. Since the present utility model adopts the technical solution of stirring the tea leaves by the stirring rod, the tea fragrance can be quickly volatilized, thus effectively solving the problem that some existing tea leaves are in a static state during the pickling process, resulting in relatively slow volatilization of the fragrance. Therefore, more time is required for the enrichment of the fragrance. A connecting ring is installed on the surface of the motor, and three stirring rollers are installed at the bottom of the connecting ring.

[0023] Refer to Figures 4-6 , In a preferred embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a collar 303. The collar 303 is sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft 301. A support arm 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collar 303 close to the sealing plate 203.

The toothed ring 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the brewing cylinder 2. By providing the toothed ring 404, the stirring roller 4 can be rotated.

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: When in use, tea leaves and water are simultaneously put into the brewing cylinder 2, and then the enrichment cylinder 1 is sealed by the cylinder cover 101. A motor 3 is installed inside the enrichment cylinder 1. After the cylinder cover 101 is installed, the motor 3 will be started accordingly. When the motor 3 is initially started, it rotates in the reverse direction. A first rotating shaft 301 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 3. Three stirring rods 302 are installed on the surface of the first rotating shaft 301. The three stirring rods 302 are located inside the brewing cylinder 2. Therefore, after the motor 3 is started, the tea leaves can be stirred by the stirring rods 302, so that the tea leaves can be quickly mixed with the water. After the mixing is completed, the motor 3 will rotate forward. A support arm 304 is also installed on the surface of the first rotating shaft 301, and an adjusting plate 306 is installed at the other end of the support arm 304. The adjusting plate 306 is engaged with a baffle 206 on one side of the sealing plate 203. Since one end of the adjusting plate 306 is inclined, when the motor 3 drives the adjusting plate 306 to rotate in the reverse direction, the adjusting plate 306 will retract into the support arm 304 to enable the stirring rod 302 to operate normally. Therefore, when the motor 3 rotates forward, the baffle 206 will block the adjusting plate 306. After the baffle 206 blocks the adjusting plate 306, as the motor 3 continues to rotate, the sealing plate 203 will be driven to move. As the sealing plate 203 moves, the leakage holes 202 on one side of the brewing cylinder 2 will be exposed, so that the tea water can enter the enrichment chamber 103 through the leakage holes 202. After the tea water completely enters the enrichment chamber 103, the motor 3 will rotate in the reverse direction. A tension spring 205 is installed on one side of the sealing plate 203. Therefore, after the motor 3 rotates in the reverse direction, the sealing plate 203 will be reset accordingly. A connecting ring 401 is installed on the surface of the motor 3, and three stirring rollers 4 are installed at the bottom of the connecting ring 401. Therefore, after the motor 3 rotates in the reverse direction, the tea water can be stirred by the stirring rollers 4. Stirring will increase the contact area on the surface of the tea water, so that more aroma molecules are released into the air, thereby enhancing the richness of the tea fragrance. Three gears 403 are also installed on the top of the three stirring rollers 4, and the gears 403 are engaged with the toothed ring 404 at the bottom of the brewing cylinder 2. Therefore, while the three stirring rollers 4 are rotating, they can also rotate self, so that the stirring effect can be better.

[0026] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
