Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sour tea fermentation, and particularly relates to a fermentation device for making De'ang sour tea. Background Art

[0002] Sour tea is a special fermented tea, and famous varieties include De'ang sour tea, Blang sour tea, etc. Among them, the color of De'ang sour tea soup is dark red, the aroma is slightly sour and fragrant, the taste is gentle and comfortable when entering the mouth, and it is warm and moist when passing through the throat. Sour tea is generally divided into two categories: wet tea and dry tea. Wet tea can generally be eaten directly, and dry tea can be used for brewing. In the production process of sour tea, the most crucial thing is to ferment the tea leaves. In the prior art, when fermenting tea leaves, usually the tea leaves are packed in bamboo tubes, then the mouths of the bamboo tubes are sealed with banana leaves, and then the bamboo tubes are buried in a pre-dug soil pit for burial, allowing the tea leaves to ferment in the bamboo tubes. During the fermentation process of sour tea, humidity and temperature have a great influence on the fermentation of sour tea. When using the existing method, during the fermentation process of sour tea, the temperature and humidity during the fermentation of sour tea cannot be controlled and adjusted, which easily affects the flavor of sour tea. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fermentation device for making De'ang sour tea, which can conveniently control the temperature and humidity during the fermentation of sour tea, so as to make the sour tea have a better flavor.

[0006] A protective shell is arranged at one end of the fermentation box, a shunt pipe is arranged at one end inside the protective shell, a first diversion pipe is communicated between the ventilation pipe and the shunt pipe, a heating pipe is arranged inside the protective shell near the shunt pipe, a heating resistance wire is arranged inside the heating pipe, a heat dissipation shell is arranged inside the protective shell near the heating pipe, a radiator is arranged inside the heat dissipation shell, a second diversion pipe is communicated between the heating pipe and the shunt pipe, and a first electromagnetic valve is arranged at one end of the second diversion pipe;

[0007] A third guide pipe is connected between the heating pipe and the heat dissipation shell, an air jet pipe is horizontally arranged inside the fermentation box, a fourth guide pipe is connected between the heat dissipation shell and the air jet pipe, a fifth guide pipe is connected between the diversion pipe and the third guide pipe, a second solenoid valve is provided at one end of the fifth guide pipe, an activated carbon filter cylinder is provided inside the fifth guide pipe, a humidifier connected to the fourth guide pipe is provided on the outside of the protective shell, and a single-chip microcomputer is provided at one end inside the protective shell.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the prepared tea leaves are transferred to the material holding barrel, the filter plate is pushed to move to the bottom of the material holding barrel, and then the material holding barrel is placed in the placement port, supported by the support plate, so that the material holding barrel is installed inside the fermentation box, and then the box cover is installed on the fermentation box, and the most suitable temperature and humidity for tea fermentation are set. The temperature and humidity inside the fermentation box are detected by the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor. The fan inside the ventilation pipe extracts the gas in the fermentation box and allows the gas to enter the diversion pipe through the first guide pipe. When the temperature is too low, the first solenoid valve is opened by the single-chip microcomputer control, the heating resistor is energized, and the gas enters the heating pipe through the second guide pipe. The heating resistor heats the gas, and then passes through the third guide pipe, and then passes through the heat dissipation shell and the fourth guide pipe into the paint spray pipe. Then the gas returns to the fermentation box to form a gas cycle. The gas passes through the electric After the resistance wire is heated, the temperature inside the fermentation box rises. When the temperature is too high, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open, allowing the gas to enter the second guide tube. When passing through the radiator, the radiator is started to cool the gas, so that when the gas returns to the fermentation box, the inside of the gas is cooled. When the gas humidity is too high, the second solenoid valve is controlled to open, and the gas passes through the fifth guide tube. The activated carbon filter tube inside the fifth guide tube absorbs the moisture in the gas, thereby reducing the humidity inside the fermentation box. When the humidity is too high, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open, and the humidifier is started. When the gas passes through the fourth guide tube, the humidifier humidifies the gas, thereby increasing the humidity inside the fermentation box. The moisture generated during the fermentation of tea can be discharged through the filter plate and pores and accumulated inside the fermentation box. After the fermentation of the tea is completed, the material barrel is taken out, and the sour tea can be easily taken out by pushing the filter plate to slide relative to the material barrel.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: a first handle is provided on the upper end of the box cover, and a second handle is provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of each material containing barrel.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a control console is provided at one end outside the fermentation box, and a display screen and a plurality of control buttons are provided at one end of the control console away from the fermentation box.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: one end of the fermentation box is provided with a power cord for connecting to a power source to provide electricity.

[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: the lower end of the fermentation box is connected to a drain pipe, and one end of the drain pipe is provided with a valve.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] It can conveniently control the temperature and humidity during sour tea fermentation, so as to make the flavor of sour tea better. The gas inside the fermentation box is extracted by the fan, and the gas inside the fermentation box is circulated. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor monitor the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation box. The temperature and humidity are adjusted by the single-chip microcomputer control. By controlling the switch of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, the control goes through different cycles, controls the heating resistor wire to heat the gas, and starts the radiator to cool the gas, thereby controlling the temperature inside the fermentation box. The humidifier can humidify the gas and control the humidity inside the fermentation box. When the gas passes through the activated carbon filter plate, the activated carbon filter plate absorbs the moisture inside the gas, thereby controlling the humidity inside the fermentation box.
