Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea production, in particular to a pile fermentation device for tea production. Background Art
[0002] Tea fermentation refers to the controlled biological oxidation process during the tea-making process, which transforms tea leaves into different types of tea. This process is often mistakenly referred to as "fermentation." In reality, it's more like a series of enzymatic reactions, and perhaps more accurately described as "biological oxidation." Within tea leaves, catechins are found in the cell sap, while oxidases are primarily found in the cell walls. To facilitate oxidation, the cell walls need to be broken down through rolling. This is why "fermented" tea is rolled beforehand. Fermentation primarily improves the taste, while also enriching the tea's flavor and aroma.
[0003] When the existing tea pile fermentation device is in use, the tea pile is scattered during the turning and water spraying process, and the tea leaves need to be manually gathered into a pile, which has low stacking efficiency and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, drainage covers are installed on both sides of the bottom of the fermentation tank, and drainage grooves are installed on the lower side of the fermentation tank corresponding to the positions of the drainage covers.
[0008] Furthermore, a feeding plate is welded on the outer ring side of the turning drum, and rollers are installed at the lower parts of both ends of the movable frame corresponding to the output ends of the right-angle reducer.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See also Figure 1-6 The present embodiment provides a technical solution: a heap fermentation device for tea production, comprising a fermentation tank 1 and guide rails 14 welded on both sides of the fermentation tank 1, characterized in that a movable frame 4 located on the upper side of the fermentation tank 1 is assembled between the two guide rails 14, and a motor 9, a turning roller 11, a driving pulley and a driven pulley are installed on the movable frame 4, one end of the turning roller 11 is connected to the driven pulley and a transmission belt 10 for transmission is wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and the driving pulley is connected to the transmission end of the motor 9. The center of one side of the movable frame 4 is connected to an electric push rod 15 by bolts, and the telescopic end of the lower part of the electric push rod 15 is connected to a spreading plate 16 by bolts. A water spray pipe 12 is installed on the upper side of the turning roller 11, and nozzles 13 connected to the water spray pipe 12 are installed at equal intervals on the lower side of the water spray pipe 12. A liquid storage tank 7 connected to the water spray pipe 12 is installed on the upper side of the movable frame 4, and the liquid storage tank 7 is connected to a pressure pump 8 through an external pipeline.
[0023] like Figure 1-6As shown, during the fermentation, the tea leaves to be fermented are piled in the fermentation tank 1 so that the tea leaves are piled into strips. When the tea leaves are sprayed with water regularly, the movable frame 4 is driven by the driving motor 5 to move, and the motor 9 drives the turning drum 11 to rotate through the transmission belt 10, thereby transporting the tea leaves piled into strips from the center position of the turning drum 11 to both ends. The pressure pump 8 pressurizes the water in the liquid storage tank 7 and sprays it downwards through the water spray pipe 12 and the nozzle 13, so that the tea leaves pile is turned over and humidified by the water spray. When the rack moves to one end of the fermentation tank 1, it stops and waits for the water spraying to be completed. Then, the mobile rack 4 moves to the other end of the fermentation tank 1. At this time, the motor 9 drives the turning drum 11 to rotate in the opposite direction through the transmission belt 10, so that the turning drum 11 can pile up the tea leaves at both ends to the center position, and then pile the tea leaves into strips. When the tea leaves are spread out to dry, the electric push rod 15 can push the spreading plate 16 downward so that the spreading plate 16 is as close to the tea layer on the fermentation tank 1 as possible, gradually flattening the accumulated tea leaves and speeding up the drying efficiency.
[0024] Both ends of the moving frame 4 are provided with a driving motor 5 for driving the moving frame 4 to move along the guide rail 14 , and the output end of the driving motor 5 is connected to a right-angle reducer 6 .
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the right-angle reducer 6 can reduce the speed of the output power of the driving motor 5, and the moving speed of the moving frame 4 after reduction in speed meets the requirements.
[0026] Drainage covers 2 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and a drainage trough 3 is installed on the lower side of the fermentation tank 1 corresponding to the position of the drainage cover 2.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the drainage cover 2 can filter the excess water in the tea pile, and the filtered water can flow into the drainage trough 3 and be discharged in time to avoid excessive water accumulation in the tea pile and damaging the tea.
[0028] A feeding plate is welded on the outer ring side of the turning roller 11, and rollers are installed at the lower parts of both ends of the moving frame 4 corresponding to the output end positions of the right-angle reducer 6.
[0029] The drainage cover plate 2 is connected to the fermentation tank 1 through a slot, and both ends of the turning drum 11 are connected to the movable frame 4 through bearings.
[0030] The water outlet end of the booster pump 8 is connected to the water spray pipe 12 through an external pipeline, and the outer shell of the liquid storage tank 7 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 4.
[0031] The working principle of the tea production fermentation device provided by the utility model is as follows: Figures 1-6As shown, during the fermentation, the tea leaves to be fermented are piled in the fermentation tank 1 so that the tea leaves are piled into strips. When the tea leaves are sprayed with water regularly, the movable frame 4 is driven by the driving motor 5 to move, and the motor 9 drives the turning drum 11 to rotate through the transmission belt 10, thereby transporting the tea leaves piled into strips from the center position of the turning drum 11 to both ends. The pressure pump 8 pressurizes the water in the liquid storage tank 7 and sprays it downwards through the water spray pipe 12 and the nozzle 13, so that the tea leaves pile is turned over and humidified by the water spray. When the rack moves to one end of the fermentation tank 1, it stops and waits for the water spraying to be completed. Then, the mobile rack 4 moves to the other end of the fermentation tank 1. At this time, the motor 9 drives the turning drum 11 to rotate in the opposite direction through the transmission belt 10, so that the turning drum 11 can pile up the tea leaves at both ends to the center position, and then pile the tea leaves into strips. When the tea leaves are spread out to dry, the electric push rod 15 can push the spreading plate 16 downward so that the spreading plate 16 is as close to the tea layer on the fermentation tank 1 as possible, gradually flattening the accumulated tea leaves and speeding up the drying efficiency.
