Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea fermentation, in particular to a humidity control device for tea fermentation. Background Art

[0002] Tea, as a beverage, is deeply loved by people. After being picked from the tea tree, tea needs to go through a series of processing, including tea selection, withering, fermentation and drying, etc. During the fermentation process, the humidity of the fermentation environment in which the tea is located needs to be controlled to achieve better fermentation effects. Therefore, a humidity control device for tea fermentation is needed.

[0003] After searching, the applicant discovered a Chinese patent disclosure of "An Intelligent Humidity Control Device for Tea Fermentation" with the publication (announcement) number "CN 217523836 U". This patent mainly describes a servo motor installed at the upper left end of the box, a humidity sensor installed on the inner side wall of the upper end of the box, and a humidifying mechanism including a horizontal connecting plate, a pipe fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate, and an atomizing nozzle arranged on the side of the pipe near the vertical central axis of the fermentation plate. The connecting plate and the screw rod are connected by threads. The sponge is fixedly connected to the middle part of the fixed plate. The sponge forms a detachable structure on the inner side wall of the mounting frame. This intelligent humidity control device for tea fermentation automatically and intelligently senses the humidity inside the box through the humidity sensor. Through the setting of the humidifying mechanism, it can automatically spray the interior of the box to increase the humidity inside the box, and can also remove the air inside the box to reduce the humidity inside the box. It is very convenient to use. However, directly replacing the internal sponge increases the cost and waste of use, and it is impossible to squeeze and reuse the sponge in time. Therefore, we propose a humidity control device for tea fermentation. Utility Model Content

[0024] See also Figure 4 , a water-absorbing sponge 5 is slidably installed inside the outer expansion bin 6, and the inclined pressure plate 9 is located on the side of the outer expansion bin 6 close to the conveying pipe 3, and a semi-cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the water-absorbing sponge 5 in the outer expansion bin 6 away from the inclined pressure plate 9, and the semi-cylinder 14 is set close to the water-absorbing sponge 5;

[0025] In this embodiment, the semi-cylinder 14 can support the position of the water-absorbing sponge 5 when squeezing water, and when water is squeezed out from the inside of the water-absorbing sponge 5, the semi-cylinder 14 can guide the water flow, thereby further guiding the squeezed water and better guiding the water to the set position.

[0026] Specifically, when the water-absorbing sponge 5 of the humidity control device absorbs too much water, the spiral shaft 10 can be rotated at this time, and the rotation of the spiral shaft 10 can be used to move the spiral shaft 10 toward the inside of the outward expansion chamber 6, thereby pushing the inclined pressure plate 9 to squeeze the water-absorbing sponge 5. At this time, the water in the water-absorbing sponge 5 will be squeezed out, and the semi-cylinder 14 is used to guide the water to move to the set position, so that the water falls into the inside of the water collection box 20. In this way, the water-absorbing sponge 5 can be squeezed out, the number of replacements can be reduced, the reuse effect of the water-absorbing sponge 5 can be increased, and the cost can be reduced.

[0027] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1-6The utility model provides a technical solution: a humidity control device for tea fermentation, a temperature control body 1 includes a temperature control box 17, a dehumidification box 2, a delivery pipe 3, a water squeezing mechanism and a top limit mechanism, the left and right sides of the temperature control box 17 are fixedly installed with the dehumidification box 2, the right side of the temperature control box 17 is fixedly installed with the delivery pipe 3, the interior of the dehumidification box 2 is installed with the top limit mechanism and the water squeezing mechanism from top to bottom, the water squeezing mechanism includes a mounting port 4 opened in the interior of the dehumidification box 2, the lower wall of the mounting port 4 is provided with an external expansion bin 6, the external expansion bin An inclined pressure plate 9 is slidably installed inside the bin 6, and a spiral shaft 10 is spirally installed on the outer wall of the dehumidification box 2 close to the conveying pipe 3, and the spiral shaft 10 extends to the interior of the external expansion bin 6 and contacts the inclined pressure plate 9.

[0028] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The top limit mechanism includes a downward pressure control plate 12 installed on the upper side of the water-absorbing sponge 5, and the upper end of the downward pressure control plate 12 is fixedly installed with an extension shaft 13, and the downward pressure control plate 12 cooperates with the mounting port 4 and the external expansion bin 6 to form a card connection, and an upper top bin 19 is provided inside the extension shaft 13, and extension grooves are provided on both sides of the upper top bin 19. A lifting rod 15 is installed inside the upper top bin 19, and the lifting rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper top bin 19.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lifting rod 15 is arranged inside the extension shaft 13. When the extension shaft 13 rotates, the lifting rod 15 can be driven to rotate in time.

[0030] During use, when the water-absorbing sponge 5 is installed in the outer expansion bin 6, the outer protrusion 18 is pressed, thereby pushing the lifting rod 15 and the upper top plate 16 to move downward, reducing the gap between the upper top plate 16 and the downward pressure control plate 12. After the downward pressure control plate 12 moves to the inside of the outer expansion bin 6, the pressure on the outer protrusion 18 is released. At this time, the spring will push the lifting rod 15, the upper top plate 16 and the outer protrusion 18 to move upward. At this time, the upper top plate 16 will contact the upper wall of the outer expansion bin 6, thereby using the downward pressure control plate 12 and the upper top plate 16 to fix the position of the water-absorbing sponge 5, which can better fix the position of the water-absorbing sponge 5 and is more convenient.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] In the first step, when the water-absorbing sponge 5 of the humidity control device absorbs too much water, the spiral shaft 10 can be rotated. The rotation of the spiral shaft 10 causes the spiral shaft 10 to move toward the inside of the outward expansion chamber 6, thereby pushing the inclined pressing plate 9 to squeeze the water-absorbing sponge 5. At this time, the water in the water-absorbing sponge 5 is squeezed out, and the semi-cylinder 14 is used to guide the water to move to the set position, so that the water falls into the inside of the water collecting box 20. In this way, the water-absorbing sponge 5 can be squeezed out, the number of replacements can be reduced, the reuse effect of the water-absorbing sponge 5 can be increased, and the cost can be reduced.

[0033] The second step is to install the water-absorbing sponge 5 into the outer expansion bin 6 by pressing the outer protrusion 18, thereby pushing the lifting rod 15 and the upper top plate 16 to move downward, reducing the gap between the upper top plate 16 and the downward pressure control plate 12. After the downward pressure control plate 12 moves to the inside of the outer expansion bin 6, release the pressure on the outer protrusion 18. At this time, the spring will push the lifting rod 15, the upper top plate 16 and the outer protrusion 18 to move upward. At this time, the upper top plate 16 will contact the upper wall of the outer expansion bin 6, thereby using the downward pressure control plate 12 and the upper top plate 16 to fix the position of the water-absorbing sponge 5. This can better fix the position of the water-absorbing sponge 5 and is more convenient.

[0034] It is worth noting that the description of the function of the semi-cylinder and the guidance of water in the present invention is as follows:

[0035] In the present invention, the semi-cylinder 14 is arranged close to the water-absorbing sponge 5 and fixed on the side of the water-absorbing sponge in the outer expansion chamber away from the inclined pressure plate 9. The function of the semi-cylinder 14 is to provide support for the water-absorbing sponge 5 during the squeezing process, and when the water is squeezed out from the inside of the water-absorbing sponge 5, the semi-cylinder 14 can play the role of guiding the water flow and guide the water to the set position. Although the semi-cylinder 14 cannot move, its shape and position can make the water flow along its surface, thereby achieving water guidance;
