Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tea, a beverage made from the tender leaves or buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, boasts a rich flavor and cultural history. It is one of the world's most popular beverages and is categorized into six main types based on processing techniques and degree of fermentation: green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, and dark tea. During the tea production process, drying equipment is required to effectively dehydrate the tea leaves while maintaining their quality, appearance, and taste characteristics, creating conditions for subsequent storage, transportation, and consumption.

[0003] When drying tea leaves in an existing drying device, the tea leaves to be dried are first poured into the interior of a drying barrel through a feed port. Subsequently, a heating component generates hot air, which is then transported to the interior of the drying barrel by a blower. The hot air fully contacts the surface of the tea leaves, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, thereby completing the drying operation of the tea leaves.

[0004] Although this method can complete the drying of tea leaves, the tea leaves inside the drying barrel cannot be turned over when the hot air is delivered to the inside of the drying barrel, resulting in some tea leaves being overheated and becoming darker and yellower, while other parts have different colors because the moisture is not completely removed, thus affecting the appearance quality of the tea leaves.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The tea leaves of the present invention are convenient to be dried by the teacup 2 and the tea leaves are convenient to be dried.

[0027] The flipping assembly includes a first motor 8, which is arranged on the right side of the outside of the drying barrel 2. The output end of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 9, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the drying barrel 2. The rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to flipping rods 10 on all four sides of the outside. Connecting rings 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the rotating rod 9. The two connecting rings 11 are fixedly connected to connecting rods 12 on all four sides of the outside. A plurality of connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to flipping shovels 13 on the outside. By setting the flipping shovel 13, it is convenient to scrape off the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the barrel. The drying barrel 2 is fixedly connected to a mounting ring 7 on the right side of the outside. The first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting ring 7. By setting the mounting ring 7, it is convenient to fix the first motor 8.

[0028] Specifically, during the tea drying process, the tea is first poured into the interior of the feeding pipe 5 through the feeding port 6. The feeding pipe 5 can smoothly transport the tea to be dried to the interior of the drying barrel 2. After the tea enters the drying barrel 2, the drying component is started. The drying component transports uniform hot air to the interior of the drying barrel 2 to ensure temperature stability during the drying process. At the same time, the first motor 8 is started. The output end of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 9. The motor rotates to drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate continuously. A plurality of flipping rods 10 are installed around the outside of the rotating rod 9. As the rotating rod 9 rotates, the flipping rods 10 also rotate synchronously. These flipping rods 10 continuously rotate the tea inside the drying barrel 2 during the rotation process. The leaves are stirred to break up the accumulation of tea leaves to avoid uneven heating caused by adhesion or accumulation of tea leaves. In addition, the rotating rod 9 is also connected to multiple connecting rods 12 through connecting rings 11 fixed on both sides. The rotation of the connecting rings 11 and the connecting rods 12 drives the turning shovels 13 around the inner wall of the drying barrel 2 to rotate synchronously. The main function of these turning shovels 13 is to scrape off the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the drying barrel 2 to prevent the tea leaves from being over-dried or even coked due to long-term contact with hot air on the barrel wall. Through the above-mentioned double stirring and scraping design, not only can the tea leaves inside the drying barrel 2 be evenly covered by hot air, thereby improving the heat utilization rate, but also the problem of local overheating can be effectively prevented, thereby further optimizing the drying quality of the tea leaves.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The anti-blocking component includes a second motor 15, which is arranged on the left side of the outside of the feed pipe 5. The output end of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to a transmission rod 16, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the feed pipe 5. A spiral conveying blade 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 16. As the transmission rod 16 rotates, the spiral conveying blade 17 smoothly pushes the tea leaves along the length direction of the feed pipe 5 to achieve continuous material transportation. A fixing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outside of the feed pipe 5, and the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing ring 14. The setting of the fixing ring 14 facilitates the fixation of the second motor 15.

[0030] Specifically, in the initial stage of tea drying, in order to ensure that the tea can enter the drying barrel 2 smoothly and avoid accumulation or blockage during transportation, the tea to be dried is first placed in the feeding port 6. At this time, the second motor 15 is started. The second motor 15 is connected to the fixed transmission rod 16 through its output end. The rotation of the transmission rod 16 directly drives the external fixed spiral conveying blade 17 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation process, the spiral conveying blade 17 uses the thrust of its spiral structure to smoothly and evenly convey the tea entering the feeding port 6 to the inside of the feeding pipe 5 until it is transported to the inside of the drying barrel 2. The spiral conveying blade 17 is made of polyethylene, which can not only avoid extrusion damage to the tea during transportation, but also ensure the continuous transportation of the tea, avoid tea accumulation, blockage or poor transportation in the feeding pipe 5, and reduce the adhesion of tea during transportation, thereby improving the transportation efficiency.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drying component includes a mounting frame 18, which is fixedly connected to the outer rear side of the bracket 1, and a fan 19 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame 18. The input end of the fan 19 is fixedly connected to an air inlet 20, and the air inlet 20 is provided to facilitate the suction of external air, and the output end of the fan 19 is fixedly connected to a heating box 21. The heating box 21 is provided to facilitate the heating of the air, and the heating box 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame 18. Heating wires 23 are installed on both sides of the inside of the heating box 21. One end of the delivery pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the heating box 21, and a guide pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting shell 4. The other end of the delivery pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the inside of the guide pipe 25, and the lower part of the guide pipe 25 is fixedly connected to an air outlet 26. The air outlet 26 is provided to facilitate the discharge of hot air, and a filter plate 22 is inserted into the inside of the heating box 21, and the filter plate 22 is provided to facilitate the filtration of the inhaled air.

[0032] Specifically, during drying, the fan 19 is started, and the external air is sucked in and transported to the inside of the heating box 21 through the air inlet 20. First, the inhaled air is filtered by the filter plate 22, and then the air is heated by the heating wire 23. Then, the air is transported to the inside of the guide tube 25 through the delivery pipe 24, and finally, it is discharged through the air outlet 26 to complete the drying of the tea leaves.

[0033] The tea leaves are first poured into the feeding pipe 5 through the feeding port 6, and then the tea leaves to be dried are transported to the drying barrel 2 through the feeding pipe 5, and then the drying assembly is started to transport hot air to the drying barrel 2. At the same time, the first motor 8 is started, and the first motor 8 drives the rotating rod 9 fixed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 9 drives the flipping rod 10 fixed on the outside to rotate, and the tea leaves falling into the drying barrel 2 are stirred by the rotation of the flipping rod 10. At the same time, when the rotating rod 9 rotates, the connecting rings 11 fixed on both sides of the outside are rotated, and the two connecting rings 11 rotate and the connecting rods 12 fixed on the outside are rotated. The rotation of the multiple connecting rods 12 drives the flipping shovel 13 fixed on the outside to rotate, and the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the drying barrel 2 are scraped off by the rotation of the flipping shovel 13, so that the tea leaves inside the drying barrel 2 can be easily stirred during the drying of the tea leaves, ensuring that each piece of tea leaves has the opportunity to be evenly exposed to the hot air, avoiding the scorching and darkening of the tea leaves in some areas due to long-term excessive heat, and improving the appearance quality of the tea leaves.

[0034] When the tea leaves to be dried are placed into the feeding port 6, the second motor 15 is started, and the second motor 15 drives the transmission rod 16 fixed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 16 drives the externally fixed spiral conveying blade 17 to rotate, and the spiral conveying blade 17 is used to transport the tea leaves inside the feeding pipe 5 to the inside of the drying barrel 2. When the tea leaves to be dried are placed into the feeding pipe 5, they are transported to the inside of the drying barrel 2 through the spiral conveying blade 17, thereby avoiding the accumulation or blockage of tea leaves in the feeding pipe 5 and improving the conveying efficiency.
