Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea drying technology, and in particular, a tea drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. They can be brewed directly with boiling water and are classified into six categories based on variety, processing method, and product appearance.

[0003] In existing tea dryers, tea leaves tend to pile up during use, resulting in incomplete drying of the tea leaves inside, which affects the overall drying time and reduces efficiency.

[0004] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN214892276U) describing a tea drying machine. This machine seals the drying chamber with a lid, then uses multiple heating wires to bake the tea leaves, and two airflow inlet components circulate the air to remove moisture, thus completing the drying process. The overall structure is compact, suitable for producing small quantities of precious tea leaves, and minimizes damage to the tea, making it highly practical. However, this device suffers from a problem: it cannot effectively dry accumulated tea leaves during use, increasing drying time and reducing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tea drying machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea drying machine, comprising: a drying chamber and a mesh frame disposed inside the drying chamber for placing tea leaves; a second linear motor is installed on the vertical side of the drying chamber, a vertical plate is installed on the driving end of the second linear motor, multiple horizontal plates are installed on the vertical side of the vertical plate, and grooves and connecting slots are provided at the top of the multiple horizontal plates; a motor is installed on the vertical inner wall of the groove; a lead screw with its end inserted into the connecting slot is installed on the driving end of the motor; a slider is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw; a mounting frame is welded to the bottom end of the slider; a fixing block is welded to the vertical inner wall of the mounting frame; telescopic rods are installed on both sides of the fixing block; and connecting frames are installed on the moving parts of the two telescopic rods.

[0007] Both of the connecting frames are equipped with forward and reverse motors on their inner bottom walls. The drive ends of both forward and reverse motors are connected to a moving frame via an automatic rod. Both moving frames are equipped with brushes at their bottom ends.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a bottom frame is welded to the bottom of the drying oven.

A second linear motor 9 is installed on the vertical side of the drying box 1. A vertical plate 13 is installed on the drive end of the second linear motor 9. Multiple horizontal plates 14 are installed on the vertical side of the vertical plate 13. The multiple horizontal plates 14 are each on a single fixed frame 12, and the brush 20 is attached to the inner bottom wall of the mesh frame 11. The top of each of the multiple horizontal plates 14 is provided with a groove 22 and a connecting groove 23. A motor 24 is installed on the vertical inner wall of the groove 22. A lead screw with its end inserted into the connecting groove 23 is installed on the drive end of the motor 24. The outer periphery of the lead screw is sleeved with... The slider 17 has a mounting frame 19 welded to its bottom end. A fixing block is welded to the vertical inner wall of the mounting frame 19. Telescopic rods 16 are installed on both sides of the fixing block. A connecting frame 21 is installed on the moving part of each telescopic rod 16. The second linear motor 9, which is set on the vertical side of the drying oven 1, drives the vertical plate 13 to move, so that the multiple horizontal plates 14 on the side of the vertical plate 13 move synchronously. During the movement, the motor 24, which is set in the groove 22, drives the slider 17 on the outer periphery of the lead screw to move, so that the mounting frame 19 at the bottom end of the slider 17 moves synchronously, so that the brush 20 moves in the mesh frame 11.

[0030] Subsequently, the telescopic rods 16 set on both sides of the fixed block drive the connecting frame 21 to move, causing the brush 20 that is in contact with the tea leaves to move. Under the action of the forward and reverse motors 18, the tea leaves piled up in different positions are scraped up and dispersed. This is different from the existing devices that cannot effectively dry the piled tea leaves. During use, this device can easily disperse the tea leaves piled up in different positions, reduce drying time, and improve drying efficiency. The inner bottom walls of the two connecting frames 21 are equipped with forward and reverse motors 18. The drive ends of the two forward and reverse motors 18 are connected to the moving frames 15 through automatic rods. The bottom ends of the two moving frames 15 are equipped with brushes 20.

[0031] A bottom frame 2 is welded to the bottom of the drying chamber 1. A fixing groove is provided at the bottom of the bottom frame 2. A first linear motor 8 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove. A vertical frame 7 is installed at the drive end of the first linear motor 8. Multiple fixing frames 12 are connected to the vertical inner wall of the vertical frame 7. A mesh frame 11 is installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 12. Two baffles 3 are installed on the vertical inner wall of the drying chamber 1 and attached to the vertical side of the vertical frame 7. A top frame 5 is welded to the top of the drying chamber 1. Connecting blocks 6 covering the vertical side of the drying chamber 1 are installed on both sides of the top frame 5. Mounting grooves 10 are provided on the vertical side of the two connecting blocks 6. Multiple hot air blowers 4 for adding drying are installed on the vertical side of the two mounting grooves 10.

[0032] The first linear motor 8, the hot air blower 4, the second linear motor 9, the telescopic rod 16, the forward and reverse motor 18, and the motor 24 are all conventional instruments. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0033] Working principle

[0034] In operation, the vertical plate 13, driven by the second linear motor 9, moves laterally within the drying chamber 1. This causes the horizontal plate 14 on the side of the vertical plate 13 to move synchronously with the mounting frame 19 below it. The motor 24 in the groove 22 drives the slider 17 around the lead screw to move the mounting frame 19, allowing the brush 20 to adhere to the mesh frame 11 and scrape the tea leaves. Subsequently, the telescopic rod 16 on the side of the fixed block is driven, causing the connecting frame 21 to move. During this movement, the forward and reverse motor 18 allows the brush 20 to break up the tea leaves at different locations, ensuring that the accumulated tea leaves are thoroughly dried.
