Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea storage technology, specifically a heating and humidifying device for improving the conversion speed of stored tea. Background Technology

[0002] The transformation of tea leaves is a complex and crucial process that profoundly impacts their quality, taste, and aroma. During storage, appropriate environmental conditions can promote the natural transformation of tea, resulting in a more unique and mellow flavor. Proper transformation gradually reduces bitterness and astringency while increasing sweetness and aroma, thereby enhancing the tea's drinking and market value.

[0003] However, traditional tea storage methods often have limitations. Typically, tea is simply placed in a warehouse or container, making it difficult to control temperature and humidity fluctuations in the natural environment. Temperatures that are too low or too high, and humidity levels that are too low or too high, can both affect the speed and quality of the tea's transformation. For example, at too low a temperature, the transformation process is slow, potentially taking a long time to reach the desired flavor; while too low a humidity level can cause the tea to become overly dry, hindering the full development of aroma and flavor. Conversely, too high a humidity level can lead to mold and spoilage.

[0004] Given the shortcomings of traditional tea storage methods, the market urgently needs a device that can effectively accelerate the transformation of tea during storage. This device needs to precisely control temperature and humidity, ensuring the tea is evenly heated and humidified to maintain its quality during the transformation process. Simultaneously, the device should also be safe, stable, and easy to use by tea merchants and enthusiasts, thus better meeting consumer demand for high-quality tea. Such a device can overcome the limitations of traditional tea storage methods, creating more ideal conditions for the transformation of tea. Utility Model Content

[0064] Working principle:

[0065] Starting and power transmission

[0066] When the device is started, the rotary motor 5 begins to work. The output end of the rotary motor 5 drives the drive disc 6 to rotate, and the drive disc 6 transmits power to the auxiliary disc 8 through the toothed belt 7. The main shaft 10 at the center of the auxiliary disc 8 rotates accordingly, and the rotating disc 11 connected to the upper end of the main shaft 10 begins to rotate inside the tank 1 with the assistance of the pulley 12.

[0067] Stirring process

[0068] The turbine rotor 13, which is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 11, rotates with the rotating disk 11, and the stirring shaft 14 at the center of the turbine rotor 13 also begins to rotate, stirring the tea leaves in the canister 1. Stirring makes the tea leaves more evenly distributed in the canister 1, avoiding local overheating or over-humidity, and at the same time allows the tea leaves to better contact the heat and moisture in the canister 1.

[0069] Heating process

[0070] The heating rod 15 installed inside the tank 1 starts working, heating the interior of the tank 1. The heat generated by the heating rod 15 raises the temperature inside the tank 1, providing suitable temperature conditions for tea transformation. A temperature sensor on the inner wall of the tank 1 monitors the temperature in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. When the temperature reaches the set value, the control system adjusts the working state of the heating rod 15, stopping it from heating or reducing its heating power; when the temperature is below the set value, the heating rod 15 continues heating or increases its heating power.

[0071] Humidification process

[0072] A water pump delivers water through the inlet pipe 18 to the network pipe 17. Atomizing nozzles 16 at one end of the network pipe 17 atomize the water and spray it into the tank 1, increasing air humidity. A humidity sensor on the inner wall of the tank 1 monitors the humidity in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. When the humidity reaches the set value, the control system adjusts the operating status of the water pump or atomizing nozzle 16, stopping humidification or reducing the humidification rate; when the humidity is below the set value, the water pump continues to operate or increases the humidification rate.

[0073] Air circulation process

[0074] An air pump exchanges air inside and outside the tank 1 through air inlet / outlet pipe 19. Fresh air enters the tank 1, carrying away excess moisture and heat, making the temperature and humidity inside the tank 1 more uniform. At the same time, air circulation also provides the necessary oxygen for the tea's transformation, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the tea.

[0075] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the spindle 10 is rotatably fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 9, and the mounting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the frame 4; stable rotation is achieved by mounting on the mounting frame 9, and power is transmitted from the auxiliary disk 8 to the rotating disk 11; fixed on the frame 4 to ensure its own stability, and at the same time to provide rotational support for the spindle 10, ensuring that the spindle 10 rotates smoothly and is in a stable position.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating disk 11 engages with the tank 1 and rotates; driven by the main shaft 10, it can rotate stably inside the tank 1, causing components such as the turbine rotor 13 fixed thereon to rotate accordingly, thereby stirring the tea leaves inside the tank 1, ensuring that the tea leaves are evenly heated and moistened inside the tank 1, and promoting the transformation of the tea leaves; providing rotation space for the rotating disk 11, and at the same time serving as a container for storing tea, it cooperates with the rotating disk 11 to realize the stirring operation of the tea leaves and provide a suitable temperature and humidity environment.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the pulleys 12 are circumferentially distributed on the frame 4, and the pulleys 12 slide in contact with the rotating disk 11; by sliding in contact with the rotating disk 11, auxiliary support is provided for the rotation of the rotating disk 11, making the rotation of the rotating disk 11 more stable, reducing shaking and friction during the rotation process, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of tea stirring.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the network pipe 17 is connected to the water inlet pipe 18, and the water inlet pipe 18 is connected to the water pump; by connecting to the water inlet pipe 18, a water source is obtained, providing a water delivery channel for the atomizing nozzle 16, and distributing the water to the atomizing nozzle 16 so as to humidify the inside of the tank 1.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the canister 1 is provided with an air inlet / outlet pipe 19, which is connected to an air pump; as a container for storing tea, the air inlet / outlet pipe 19 enables the exchange of air with the outside air to regulate the air environment inside the canister 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are installed on the inner wall of the tank 1; the temperature inside the tank 1 is monitored in real time, and the temperature data is fed back to the control system so as to control the operation of the heating rod 15 and maintain a suitable temperature for tea transformation inside the tank 1; the humidity inside the tank 1 is monitored in real time, and the humidity data is fed back to the control system so as to control the operation of the atomizing nozzle 16 and related humidification equipment and maintain a suitable humidity for tea transformation inside the tank 1.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
