DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a tea fermentation machine with a compost turning function, comprising:

[0028] The fermentation assembly 100 includes a fermentation machine 101 , and a support leg 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101 ;

[0029] Among them, the fermentation machine 101 can accurately control the humidity and temperature during the tea fermentation process through its built-in humidifier and thermostat. The thermostat can keep the temperature within an appropriate range, thereby ensuring the fermentation speed and quality of the tea. The humidifier ensures that the tea maintains a certain humidity during the fermentation process to avoid premature drying. The support legs 102 are used to ensure that the fermentation machine 101 remains stable during use.

[0030] The compost turning assembly 200 includes a motor 201 adapted to be mounted on one side of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101, and a turntable 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201;

[0031] When the motor 201 rotates, it can drive the turntable 202 to rotate synchronously. A semicircular positioning block is fixedly connected to the surface of the turntable 202.

[0032] The discharge assembly 300 includes a discharge port 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101 , and a positioning plate 302 is fixedly installed on the other side surface of the discharge port 301 .

[0033] The discharge port 301 is used to support the positioning plate 302 , and the positioning plate 302 is used to limit the various components in the discharge assembly 300 .

[0034] Specifically, the fermentation component 100 further includes a feed port 103 fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101 , and a control panel 104 is fixedly provided on one side of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101 .

[0035] The staff can add tea leaves to be processed into the fermentation machine 101 through the feed port 103 , and the staff can control the humidifier and temperature controller built into the fermentation machine 101 .

[0036] Furthermore, a bump 203 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the turntable 202 , and a driven wheel 204 is rotatably connected to one side of the inner surface of the fermentation machine 101 .

[0037] Among them, when the turntable 202 rotates, it can drive the protrusion 203 to rotate synchronously. Four radial grooves are provided on the surface of the driven wheel 204. The protrusion 203 is hinged in the radial groove. When the turntable 202 drives the protrusion 203 to rotate, the protrusion 203 can drive the driven wheel 204 to rotate. When the protrusion 203 rotates out of the radial groove, the driven wheel 204 can be limited by the semicircular positioning block on the surface of the turntable 202 to prevent the driven wheel 204 from continuing to rotate due to inertia.

[0038] Preferably, the compost turning assembly 200 further includes a support rod 205 fixedly connected to one end of the driven wheel 204 , the other end of the support rod 205 being fixedly mounted on one side surface of the inner wall of the fermentation machine 101 via a bearing, and a compost turning shovel 206 being fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 205 .

[0039] Among them, when the driven wheel 204 rotates, it can drive the support rod 205 to rotate synchronously, and then the support rod 205 drives the turning shovel 206 to turn the tea leaves. The turning shovel 206 is made of stainless steel which has no effect on the taste and smell of the tea leaves. The stainless steel surface is smooth, easy to clean, and keeps hygienic.

[0040] When in use, the motor 201 is turned on to drive the turntable 202, the protrusion 203 and the semicircular positioning block on the surface of the turntable 202 to rotate synchronously, so that the protrusion 203 moves into the radial groove opened on the surface of the driven wheel 204, and drives the driven wheel 204 to rotate, and then the driven wheel 204 drives the support rod 205 to rotate synchronously, so that the support rod 205 drives the turning shovel 206 to turn the tea leaves. When the protrusion 203 rotates out of the radial groove, the driven wheel 204 is limited by the semicircular positioning block on the surface of the turntable 202 to prevent the driven wheel 204 from continuing to rotate due to inertia, so that the position of the tea leaves stays for a period of time before continuing to turn the tea leaves, so that all parts of the tea leaves can fully contact with air and moisture, thereby promoting the synchronous progress of enzymatic reactions and microbial activities.

[0041] In summary, by turning the tea leaves at regular intervals through the synchronous rotation of the motor 201, the influence of the positional differences of the tea leaves on the fermentation effect can be reduced, and the quality of the entire batch of tea leaves can be made more consistent. Compared with the traditional manual turning, it can not only make the quality of the entire batch of tea leaves more consistent, but also reduce the need for manual intervention, thereby saving labor costs.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Reference Figures 3 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a discharge assembly 300 that can flexibly adjust the size of the discharge port 301 according to actual production needs.

[0044] Specifically, a gear plate 303 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the outer surface of the fermentation machine 101 via a bearing, and a limiting groove 304 is provided on the surface of the positioning plate 302 .

[0045] Furthermore, a toothed ring 305 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 304 , and a positioning column 306 is fixedly connected to a surface of one side of the discharge port 301 , and the number of the positioning columns 306 is four.

[0046] Among them, the limiting groove 304 is used to limit the tooth ring 305. The teeth of the gear plate 303 are engaged with one group of teeth of the tooth ring 305. When the staff manually rotates the gear plate 303, the tooth ring 305 can be driven to slide in the limiting groove 304.

[0047] Preferably, the unloading assembly 300 further includes four opening and closing plates 307 , and the four opening and closing plates 307 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the four positioning posts 306 .

[0048] The four opening and closing plates 307 are respectively engaged with the other four groups of teeth of the toothed ring 305 . When the toothed ring 305 slides, it can simultaneously drive the four opening and closing plates 307 to rotate around the four positioning posts 306 as the center of the circle.

[0049] During use, after the tea processing is completed, the staff manually rotates the gear plate 303, so that the gear plate 303 drives the tooth ring 305 to slide in the limit groove 304, and then the tooth ring 305 simultaneously drives the four opening and closing plates 307 to rotate with the four positioning columns 306 as the center of the circle. After the four opening and closing plates 307 rotate to the appropriate positions at the same time, the gear plate 303 stops rotating to achieve the effect of quickly adjusting the tea unloading speed.

[0050] In summary, by flexibly adjusting the size of the discharge port 301 according to actual production needs, the discharge speed of the tea leaves can be quickly adjusted. During peak periods, the discharge port can be increased to speed up the flow of tea leaves and shorten the production cycle; during low periods, the discharge port can be appropriately reduced to avoid accumulation or waste of tea leaves.
