Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea storage technology, and in particular to a storage device that facilitates moisture protection for tea. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include cha, jia, ming, and chuan. 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. Tea storage requires specific environmental conditions. Tea is highly hygroscopic and absorbs odors easily, readily absorbing moisture and unwanted smells from the air. Improper storage can cause it to lose its flavor within a short period. To ensure the tea retains its original quality, storage devices are used to extend its shelf life.

[0003] In actual use, existing tea storage devices need to be opened frequently to take out tea leaves for drinking. However, moisture from the air can enter the storage device, causing the tea leaves to become damp and affecting their quality.

[0004] A search of existing patents revealed a tea storage device (publication number: CN221252439U). This utility model provides a tea storage device, belonging to the field of tea storage technology. The tea storage device includes: a storage tank, a baffle, a second mesh plate, a sealing plug, a sealing cover, and a dehumidification box. The storage tank has a hollow structure with several through holes evenly distributed on its side wall. A vertical channel is formed at the bottom of the through holes. The baffle is horizontally positioned inside the storage tank. Above the baffle is a storage area, and below the baffle is a dehumidification area. A first mesh plate is positioned on the baffle, and a second mesh plate is horizontally positioned below the baffle. Above the second mesh plate is a placement chamber, and below the second mesh plate is a drainage chamber with a drain outlet at its bottom. The dehumidification box is detachably installed within the through holes and communicates with the dehumidification area. Drying balls are placed in the dehumidification box and placement chamber. Water generated after the drying balls absorb moisture can be discharged through the drain outlet of the drainage chamber, effectively dehumidifying the tea for long-term storage and preventing moisture from affecting the tea's quality during prolonged storage.

[0005] While the aforementioned patent achieves the effect of dehumidifying tea, tea is easily affected by external light and temperature during storage. This causes heat to be transferred into the storage device, and excessively high temperatures can promote chemical reactions in the tea, potentially damaging the aromatic and other active ingredients. This results in the tea losing its aroma and taste, making it difficult to extend the shelf life of the tea and maintain its aroma and flavor. Utility Model Content

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] This utility model provides a storage device for tea that facilitates moisture prevention, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This storage device for tea, designed to prevent moisture absorption, utilizes moisture-proof components and a transparent glass panel. During use, the color-changing silica gel desiccant is placed in the container and connected to the connecting tube. The desiccant absorbs moisture from inside the storage container. The color of the desiccant is observed through the transparent glass; blue indicates that it has not absorbed much moisture, while pink indicates that it has reached saturation and needs to be replaced. This process keeps the inside of the storage container dry, thus preventing moisture from entering the storage device and causing the tea to become damp, affecting the storage environment and improving the quality of the tea.

[0021] 2. This storage device, which facilitates moisture protection for tea, incorporates a heat-insulating component. During use, a ceramic inner liner is added to the storage container's structure. Ceramic material has low thermal conductivity, effectively blocking heat conduction. Simultaneously, the smooth surface of the ceramic makes it easy to clean and less prone to chemical reactions with the tea. Furthermore, polyurethane foam provides excellent thermal insulation. The combined use of these two components reduces the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the tea inside the storage container, preventing high temperatures from causing chemical reactions that could damage the tea's aromatic and other active ingredients. This helps extend the tea's shelf life and preserve its aroma and flavor. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a storage device for tea that facilitates moisture prevention, comprising a storage tank 1, an insulation component 2 provided on the inner wall of the storage tank 1, an access port 3 fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, a sealing cap 4 threadedly connected to the surface of the access port 3, a connecting pipe 5 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the sealing cap 4, and a moisture-proof component 6 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5.

[0029] The heat insulation component 2 includes a heat insulation layer 201 disposed on the inner wall of the storage tank 1. A ceramic inner liner 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat insulation layer 201. With the heat insulation component 2, a ceramic inner liner 202 is added to the structure of the storage tank 1 during use. The ceramic material has low thermal conductivity, which can effectively block the conduction of heat. At the same time, the ceramic surface is smooth, easy to clean, and does not easily react chemically with tea. In addition, polyurethane foam has a good thermal insulation effect. The combination of the two can reduce the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the tea in the storage tank 1, avoid the chemical reaction of tea caused by high temperature, which may destroy the aromatic components and other active ingredients of the tea, and help extend the shelf life of the tea and maintain its aroma and flavor.

[0030] The moisture-proof component 6 includes a placement box 601 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5. The placement box 601 contains a color-changing silica gel desiccant 602. Through the moisture-proof component 6 and the transparent glass 7, in use, the color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 is placed into the placement box 601 and connected to the connecting pipe 5. The color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 absorbs moisture inside the storage tank 1. Observation through the transparent glass 7 reveals the color of the desiccant 602. Blue indicates that it has not absorbed much moisture. When the desiccant 602 turns pink, it indicates that the moisture absorption has reached saturation and it needs to be replaced. This maintains the dryness inside the storage tank 1, thus achieving a moisture-proof effect and preventing air moisture from entering the storage device, causing the tea to become damp, affecting the tea's storage environment, and improving the quality of the tea.

[0031] An observation port is provided on the top surface of the sealing cover 4, and a transparent glass 7 is fixedly connected inside the observation port. The transparent glass 7 facilitates the observation of the color change of the color-changing silica gel desiccant 602.

[0032] A sealing gasket 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the access port 3, and a sealing ring 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement box 601. The sealing gasket 8 and the sealing ring 9 are compatible. The sealing gasket 8 and the sealing ring 9 further enhance the sealing effect.

[0033] A protective ring 10 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage tank 1. The protective ring 10 is compatible with the sealing cover 4. The protective ring 10 helps to reduce the entry of air.

[0034] The insulation layer 201 is made of polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam provides insulation and reduces the impact of external temperature changes on the interior of the storage tank 1.

[0035] The surface of storage tank 1 is coated with a UV-resistant layer 11, which is made of acrylic. The UV-resistant layer 11 reduces UV radiation.

[0036] A cushioning rubber pad 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage tank 1, and a felt sheet 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cushioning rubber pad 12. The cushioning rubber pad 12 and the felt sheet 13 play a role in cushioning and preventing slipping.

[0037] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0038] First step: When in use, a ceramic inner liner 202 is added to the structure of storage tank 1. The ceramic material has low thermal conductivity, which can effectively block the conduction of heat. At the same time, the ceramic surface is smooth, easy to clean, and does not easily react chemically with tea. In addition, polyurethane foam has a good thermal insulation effect. The combination of the two can reduce the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the tea in storage tank 1.

[0039] The second step: When using it, put the color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 into the placement box 601 and connect it to the connecting tube 5. The color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 absorbs the moisture inside the storage tank 1. Observe the color of the color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 through the transparent glass 7. Blue indicates that it has not absorbed too much moisture. When the color-changing silica gel desiccant 602 turns pink, it indicates that the moisture absorption inside has reached saturation and it needs to be replaced in order to keep the inside of the storage tank 1 dry.
