Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field related to tea production, and specifically relates to a drying device for drying tea leaves. Background Technique
[0002] Tea refers to the products made from the leaves and buds of tea trees after picking and processing, and is usually used to make tea beverages. The tea production process needs to go through steps such as picking, fixing, rolling, and drying, and the drying device plays a crucial role in the tea production process.
[0003] After retrieval, it is found that a drying device for drying excess moisture of tea leaves is disclosed in the patent No. CN222761310U. This drying device can drive the rotating plate to move through the mutual cooperation of the threaded rod, sleeve, slider, and slide rail, so as to adjust the distance between the rotating plate and the chain plate conveyor belt, avoiding the influence on the drying effect due to the relatively thick thickness of the tea leaves transported into the drying box caused by the diversity of tea varieties. Thus, the distance between the rotating plate and the chain plate conveyor belt can be flexibly adjusted according to the differences in tea varieties and thicknesses.
[0004] However, when this device is actually used, only the slide rail and the rotating plate are adjusted, and the tea leaves put into the drying box are not sorted out, resulting in the tea leaves in the interlayer being difficult to be heated during the drying process, affecting the drying quality. In view of this, we propose a drying device for drying tea leaves. Content of the Utility Model

A stirring member 5 is rotatably connected inside the heating drum 12. The stirring member 5 includes an electric turntable 52 and a plurality of stirring rollers 50 for mixing tea leaves. The plurality of stirring rollers 50 are rotatably connected to the surface of the electric turntable 52. The electric turntable 52 is used to drive the plurality of stirring rollers 50 to rotate.
[0034] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one aspect of this embodiment, the stirring member 5 further includes a plurality of fixing grooves 53. The number of the plurality of fixing grooves 53 is the same as the number of the stirring rollers 50, and the plurality of stirring rollers 50 are detachably installed in the fixing grooves 53. One end of the electric turntable 52 passes through the heating drum 12 and the drying box 1 and is rotatably connected to a driving motor 51.
[0035] The stirring member 5 further includes a small gear type turntable 55. The small gear type turntable 55 is rotatably connected inside the fixing groove 53. The connection end of the small gear type turntable 55 is adapted to the stirring roller 50. A plurality of micro control modules 54 are fixedly installed on the other side of the electric turntable 52. The plurality of micro control modules 54 are electrically connected to the small gear type turntable 55 respectively.
[0036] A wind box 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the drying box 1. The wind direction of the wind box 4 is blowing inwards. One side of the wind box 4 is fixedly connected with an air draft tube 40. One end of the air draft tube 40 is fixedly connected to the heating drum 12.
[0037] Before the drying operation, the tea leaves are put into the heating drum 12 through the feed inlet 11, and then the driving motor 51 can be started for the drying operation. When starting, the driving motor 51 will make the electric turntable 52 operate, driving the multiple stirring rollers 50 on its surface to rotate, and stir-frying the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves accumulated at the bottom can be operated to improve the drying efficiency. At the same time, during the operation of the stirring roller 50, the operation of the small gear type turntable 55 can be regulated through the micro-control module 54, so that the stirring roller 50 connected in the fixed slot 53 can perform self-rotation, thereby increasing the stir-frying effect of the tea leaves and facilitating the drying operation. During the drying process, the air box 4 on the side of the drying box 1 can blow the outside air into the heating drum 12 through the air guide tube 40, so as to mix with the heat generated by the electric heating box 2 and improve the drying efficiency.

[0043] Working principle: Before the drying operation, the tea leaves are put into the heating drum 12 through the feed inlet 11, and then the driving motor 51 can be started to perform the drying operation. When starting, the driving motor 51 will make the electric turntable 52 operate, driving the multiple stirring rollers 50 on its surface to rotate, and stir-frying the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves accumulated at the bottom can be operated, improving the drying efficiency. At the same time, during the operation of the stirring roller 50, the operation of the small gear type turntable 55 can be regulated through the micro-control module 54, so that the stirring roller 50 connected in the fixed slot 53 can perform self-rotation, thereby increasing the stir-frying effect of the tea leaves and facilitating the drying operation. During the drying process, the air box 4 located on the side of the drying box 1 can blow the outside air into the heating drum 12 through the air guide cylinder 40, so as to mix with the heat generated by the electric heating box 2, improving the drying efficiency. When drying, the two electric heating boxes 2 at the bottom will operate synchronously, raising the temperature inside the drying box 1. This part of the hot air will gradually rise as the temperature of the drying box 1 increases until it fits the heating drum 12 to dry the tea leaves. At the same time, the induced draft fan 3 at the top can blow the air downward, making the hot air surround the heating drum 12 to maintain continuous heating. During the drying process, the air box 4 located on the side of the drying box 1 can blow the outside air into the heating drum 12 through the air guide cylinder 40, so as to mix with the heat generated by the electric heating box 2, improving the drying efficiency. After drying is completed, the push-pull door 10 and the material taking port 13 are opened respectively, and the tea leaves can be taken out and put into the subsequent processing.
