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.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 2In this embodiment, a constant temperature fermentation device for black tea includes a fermentation chassis 1 and a small mobile air conditioner 2. A storage component for regulating the constant temperature and humidity airflow blown out by the small mobile air conditioner 2 is provided between the fermentation chassis 1 and the small mobile air conditioner 2.

[0043] A temperature and humidity display screen 9 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the air storage box 3 , and the temperature and humidity display screen 9 is electrically connected to a temperature and humidity sensor 1 located in the air storage box 3 , and an automatic switch valve 8 is connected to the outside of the exhaust head 7 .

[0044] The temperature and humidity sensor senses the temperature of the air inside the air storage box 3.

[0045] The exhaust member,

[0046] It includes an exhaust pipe 10 connected between the air storage box 3 and the fermentation box 1, and the outside of the exhaust pipe 10 is connected to an automatic switch valve 2 11.

[0047] See also Figures 3 to 4 In this embodiment, the fermentation box 1 is provided with an exhaust component for quickly discharging the air flow inside the fermentation box 1 to allow constant temperature and humidity air flow to enter.

[0048] It should be noted that the exhaust assembly includes a driving component and an exhaust control component;

[0049] Drive parts,

[0050] It includes a connecting pipe 12 connected to the outside of the fermentation box 1, the other end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to a mounting cylinder 13, a motor 14 is installed in the mounting cylinder 13, and a fan blade 15 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 14 by fastening screws.

[0051] The exhaust control component,

[0052] It includes an exhaust control air pipe 16 connected to the other side of the mounting tube 13, an elastic telescopic rod 17 is installed inside the exhaust control air pipe 16, and the elastic telescopic rod 17 is composed of a spring and two ends of the telescopic rod that are fixed to each other. The other end of the elastic telescopic rod 17 is fixed with a switch sealing piece 18 that fits tightly with the inner wall of the exhaust control air pipe 16. The diameter of the switch sealing piece 18 is equal to the inner diameter of the exhaust control air pipe 16. When the elastic telescopic rod 17 is in an extended state, the switch sealing piece 18 is separated from the exhaust control air pipe 16.

[0053] A second temperature and humidity display screen 19 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fermentation chassis 1 , and a second temperature and humidity sensor 2 located inside the fermentation chassis 1 is electrically connected to the second temperature and humidity display screen 19 . An operation display panel 20 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fermentation chassis 1 .

[0054] The temperature and humidity sensor 2 is used to sense the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation box 1.

[0055] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0056] When the temperature and humidity in the fermentation chassis 1 need to be changed, the temperature of the room is set on the small mobile air conditioner 2, and the small mobile air conditioner 2 is turned on, so that the airflow of the set temperature enters the connecting socket 4, and the connecting socket 4, the sealing cover 6, the air intake hose 5 and the air storage box 3 are connected to each other, so that the airflow enters the air storage box 3. At this time, the automatic switch valve 1 8 is opened and the automatic switch valve 2 11 is closed. While the gas is discharged through the exhaust head 7, the temperature and humidity are viewed in real time through the temperature and humidity display screen 1 9. After the temperature and humidity of the airflow stored in the air storage box 3 are equal to the set temperature, the set automatic switch valve 1 8 is closed and the set automatic switch valve 2 11 is opened, so that the airflow enters the fermentation chassis 1 through the exhaust pipe 10;

[0057] Moreover, when the airflow enters the fermentation box 1, the motor 14 is started synchronously to drive the fan blades 15 to rotate and blow out the airflow, and at the same time, the original internal air in the fermentation box 1 is extracted through the connected connecting pipe 12. At the same time, under the action of air pressure, the switch sealing piece 18 is pushed to separate from the exhaust control pipe 16, and the elastic telescopic rod 17 is synchronously extended, so that the original internal air in the fermentation box 1 is discharged from the exhaust control pipe 16;

[0058] Thus, the airflow of set temperature and humidity enters the fermentation box 1 from the exhaust duct 10, and combined with the rapid discharge of the original internal air in the fermentation box 1, the constant temperature and humidity airflow can be quickly filled into the fermentation box 1 until the temperature and humidity values ​​on the temperature and humidity display screen 2 19 reach the set values. After reaching the set values, the automatic switch valve 2 11 is closed, and the small mobile air conditioner 2 and the motor 14 stop working. When the air pressure is stable, the elastic telescopic rod 17 elastically contracts and resets, driving the sealing piece 18 to move and seal the exhaust control pipe 16, so that the temperature and humidity in the fermentation box 1 quickly reach the set temperature, avoiding the traditional direct change of temperature and humidity causing changes in the temperature and humidity of the airflow, affecting the fermentation and taste of the tea.

[0059] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc., and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in this article.
