Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing, specifically to a tea drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] After tea leaves are picked, they need to go through roasting, drying, inspection, and packaging. During the drying process, a tea dryer is needed to generate hot air to dry the tea leaves, reduce their moisture content, and increase their storage time. Existing tea dryers usually use drum drying to ensure that the tea leaves are dried evenly, but the biggest problem with this is that it is easy to produce tea leaves. The leaves need to be screened after drying, which is inefficient and increases costs. Therefore, a tea dryer is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a tea drying machine that dries tea leaves by placing them on a screen, replacing the drum drying method. This reduces the impact intensity and movement of the tea leaves, reduces the generation of tea dust, and allows for screening during the drying process, simplifying the drying process and improving drying efficiency.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] A tea drying machine includes a main body with a rectangular cross-section. Several drying chambers are arranged vertically on the front side of the main body. Heating wires for heating are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the drying chambers. A partition fixed to the inner wall of the drying chamber is arranged on the side of the heating wires that are close to each other. A placement rack with a front opening is placed on the lower partition. A shell for filling tea leaves is placed on the placement rack. A sieve is placed inside the shell. A power mechanism for driving the placement rack to shake to achieve sieving is provided on the side of the main body.

[0006] Furthermore, the power mechanism includes a sliding rod fixed to the placement frame and passing through and slidably connected to the main body. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod located outside the main body, and a spring is fixedly connected between the connecting rod and the outer side wall of the main body.

[0007] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main body, and the motor is powered by a cam that abuts against the connecting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a support foot is fixedly provided at the lower end of the main body.

[0009] Furthermore, a through cavity extends through the lower surface of the placement rack.

[0010] Furthermore, steam outlets are provided on both sides of the drying chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, a switchable door is provided on the front side of the drying chamber.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: placing tea leaves on a screen for drying, instead of using a drum dryer, can reduce the collision intensity and movement range of the tea leaves, reduce the generation of tea leaf fragments, and at the same time, the screen can be used to screen the leaves during the drying process, simplifying the drying process, improving drying efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0019] To better illustrate the content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0020] have Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a tea drying machine, including a main body 1 with a rectangular cross-section. Several drying chambers 3 are arranged vertically on the front side of the main body 1. Heating wires 4 for heating are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the drying chambers 3. A partition 5 fixed to the inner wall of the drying chamber 3 is arranged on the side of the heating wires 4 that are close to each other. A placement rack 8 with a front opening is placed on the lower partition 5. A shell 6 for filling tea leaves is placed on the placement rack 8. A screen 7 is placed inside the shell 6. A power mechanism 900 for driving the placement rack 8 to shake to achieve screening is arranged on the side of the main body 1.

[0021] Furthermore, the power mechanism 900 includes a sliding rod 10 fixed to the placement frame 8 and passing through and slidably connected to the main body 1. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 10 located outside the main body 1. A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the connecting rod 12 and the outer side wall of the main body 1.

[0022] Furthermore, a motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main body 1, and the motor 14 is poweredly connected to a cam 13 that abuts against the connecting rod 12.

[0023] Furthermore, a support foot 2 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the main body 1.

[0024] Furthermore, a through cavity 15 extends through the lower surface of the placement rack 8.

[0025] Furthermore, steam outlets 9 are provided on both sides of the drying chamber 3.

[0026] Furthermore, a switchable door (not shown) is provided on the front side of the drying chamber 3.

[0027] Specifically, when using it, open the switch door, push the outer shell 6 of the tea leaves laid on the sieve 7 into the placement rack 8 from the front, and then close the switch door;

[0028] When the heating wire 4 is activated, the heating wires 4 on the upper and lower sides emit heat and heat the upper and lower sides of the tea leaves through the partition 5 to dry them. The emitted water vapor moves to the outside through the steam outlet 9. Since each drying chamber 3 has an independent steam outlet 9, the humid heat emitted from the bottom drying chamber 3 will not affect the upper drying chamber 3.

[0029] Then start the motor 14, which drives the cam 13 to rotate and, together with the spring 11, drives the connecting rod 12 to move left and right. This causes the sliding rod 10 to drive the placement rack 8 to sway left and right, thus achieving screening and allowing the tea leaves to pass through the screen 7 and enter the bottom of the outer shell 6.

[0030] After drying, simply remove the outer shell 6 and the sieve 7 to separate the tea leaves from the broken pieces.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the technical solutions of this utility model have been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
