Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tea is a beverage made from the tender leaves, buds, or leaves of the tea plant. Different processing methods create different varieties, such as green tea (which retains its green color), fully fermented black tea, oolong tea (a blend of both), and white tea (made from fresh buds and leaves). These teas not only have rich historical and cultural backgrounds but are also widely loved for their diverse flavors and nutritional components.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent (CN221055403U) discloses a tea drying device, which describes: "The drying mechanism avoids the tea leaves being blocked by the upper drying basket during drying, allowing the tea leaves to be fully dried and improving the quality of the tea leaves. The collection mechanism facilitates the collection of the dried tea leaves, reducing the workload, thus completing the drying and collection operations." However, it also describes the technical problem: "When this device is used, multiple drying baskets are stacked, and the upper drying baskets block the sunlight from the lower drying baskets, thus blocking the tea leaves in that layer of drying baskets from drying, resulting in insufficient drying of the tea leaves."

[0004] In summary, existing technologies utilize drying mechanisms to prevent tea leaves from being obstructed by the upper drying basket during drying, allowing the tea leaves to dry fully. However, this method has the following technical problems: during the drying process, flying insects in the environment are attracted by the aroma of the tea leaves or residual moisture. Contact between the insects and the tea leaves can contaminate them, affecting the flavor and hygiene of the tea. Therefore, this application proposes a drying device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above-mentioned patents and provide a new technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a drying device to address the aforementioned technical problems. By pulling the limiting rod, the limiting rod can be removed from the side panel, thereby releasing the restriction between the top cover and the side panel. This allows the operator to freely rotate the top cover and side panel, facilitating the placement of tea leaves within the space formed by the placement box, side panel, and top cover. Subsequently, pulling up the limiting rod and rotating the side panel and top cover until they come into contact, and then releasing the limiting rod, allows it to insert into the side panel, thus enveloping the tea leaves. Sunlight and wind can enter the interior through ventilation holes on the placement box, side panel, and top cover. The placement box, side panel, and top cover can prevent flying insects from contacting the tea leaves, thus avoiding the impact of flying insects on the flavor and hygiene of the tea, improving the final production quality of the tea, and thus enhancing the practicality of the device. Furthermore, when collecting the dried tea leaves, the top cover and side panel can be unfolded, and the placement box can be rotated to pour out the dried tea leaves, preventing damage to the tea leaves during the removal process, further improving the practicality of the device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The two T-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the inner wall of the device base. A limiting screw is slidably connected to the inner wall of the device base. The limiting screw is threaded to the inner wall of the T-shaped block. A handle is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting screw away from the T-shaped block. A friction pad is fixedly connected to the side of the handle near the limiting screw.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the drying device provided by this utility model, the height adjustment component includes an adjustment rod, the inner wall of the U-shaped frame is slidably connected to the adjustment rod, the top of the U-shaped frame is rotatably connected to a rotating block, the adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating block, and a support shell is fixedly connected between the sliding rod and the adjustment rod.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the drying device provided by this utility model, the rotating component includes a placement box, with rotating shafts fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the placement box, and the ends of the two rotating shafts away from the placement box being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support shell. A side plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the placement box, and a top cover is rotatably connected to the top of the placement box. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the outer walls of the placement box, the side plate, and the top cover.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the drying device provided by this utility model, the switch adjustment assembly includes a fixed shell, the top of the top cover is fixedly connected to the fixed shell, a limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell, the bottom of the limiting rod is inserted into the side plate, a sliding ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod, the sliding ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring and the inner wall of the fixed shell.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the drying device provided by this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes an L-shaped rod, and the outer walls of the two rotating shafts are respectively fixedly connected with L-shaped rods. The outer wall of the support shell is provided with arc-shaped grooves on the front and rear sides, and the L-shaped rods are slidably connected in the arc-shaped grooves.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the drying device provided by this utility model, the limiting mechanism further includes an adjusting screw, the inner wall of the support shell is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, and a top block is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The drying device provided by this utility model allows the operator to freely rotate the top cover and side panel by pulling the limiting rod, thus releasing the restriction between the top cover and side panel. This allows the operator to easily place the tea leaves into the space formed by the placement box, side panel, and top cover. Afterward, pulling up the limiting rod and rotating the side panel and top cover until they contact each other, and then releasing the limiting rod, allows it to be inserted into the side panel, effectively enveloping the tea leaves. Sunlight and wind can enter the interior through the ventilation holes on the placement box, side panel, and top cover. The placement box, side panel, and top cover prevent flying insects from contacting the tea leaves, thus avoiding any impact on the flavor and hygiene of the tea, improving the final production quality of the tea, and enhancing the practicality of the device. Furthermore, when collecting the dried tea leaves, the top cover and side panel can be unfolded, and the placement box can be rotated to pour out the dried tea leaves, preventing damage to the tea leaves during the removal process, further improving the practicality of the device.

[0019] The drying device provided by this utility model can increase the distance between the handle and the device base by rotating the handle, thereby allowing the corresponding T-shaped block to slide freely inside the device base, which in turn drives the U-shaped frame to slide. Furthermore, the distance between multiple U-shaped frames can be adjusted to avoid insufficient ventilation between the placement boxes due to small spacing, or insufficient drying due to large spacing causing some tea leaves to be placed far from the sunniest areas. In addition, by rotating the rotating block, the height of the support shell can be adjusted to avoid insufficient sunlight exposure for tea leaves in lower placement boxes due to obstruction from other objects in the environment, thus improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.

[0020] The drying device provided by this utility model allows the placement box to rotate at a certain angle by limiting the L-shaped rod and the arc-shaped groove. This allows the tea leaves inside the placement box to be turned over by shaking it without opening the placement box and the top cover, so that the tea leaves inside the placement box can be exposed to sunlight more evenly. The position of the placement box can be limited by rotating the adjusting screw. Together with the L-shaped rod and the arc-shaped groove, the placement box can be kept in a horizontal position, avoiding the accumulation of tea leaves inside the placement box due to tilting, thus ensuring the stability of the device.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] As described in the background art, during the drying process of tea leaves, flying insects in the environment are attracted by the aroma of the tea leaves or the residual moisture. Contact between the flying insects and the tea leaves can cause contamination, affecting the flavor and hygiene of the tea.

[0031] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a drying device that is applied to tea processing.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figures 1-2 The drying equipment specifically includes:

[0033] The device base 1 is provided with multiple adjustment mechanisms 2, and the adjustment mechanisms 2 are provided with limiting mechanisms 3;

[0034] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped frame 4, a sliding rod 9, a spacing adjustment component, a height adjustment component, a rotation component, and a switch adjustment component. The U-shaped frame 4 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the device base 1, and the sliding rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 4.

[0035] The drying device provided by this utility model allows the operator to pull the limiting rod 18 away from the side plate 15, thereby releasing the restriction between the top cover 16 and the side plate 15. This allows the operator to freely rotate the top cover 16 and the side plate 15, facilitating the placement of tea leaves into the space formed by the placement box 14, the side plate 15, and the top cover 16. Then, by pulling up the limiting rod 18 and rotating the side plate 15 and the top cover 16 until the side plate 15 contacts the top cover 16, the operator releases the limiting rod 18, allowing it to insert into the side plate 15 and thus enveloping the tea leaves. Sunlight and wind can then pass through. The ventilation holes on the placement box 14, side plate 15, and top cover 16 allow air to enter the interior. The placement box 14, side plate 15, and top cover 16 can prevent flying insects from contacting the tea leaves, thereby avoiding the impact of flying insects on the flavor and hygiene of the tea leaves, improving the final production quality of the tea leaves, and thus improving the practicality of the device. Furthermore, when collecting the dried tea leaves, the top cover 16 and side plate 15 can be unfolded, and the placement box 14 can be rotated to pour out the dried tea leaves, avoiding damage to the tea leaves during the removal process, further improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] Please refer to Figures 2-5 A drying device comprising:

[0039] The spacing adjustment component includes T-shaped blocks 5. T-shaped blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 4 and near the front and rear edges respectively. The two T-shaped blocks 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the device base 1. A limiting screw 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the device base 1. The limiting screw 6 is threaded to the inner wall of the T-shaped blocks 5. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting screw 6 away from the T-shaped blocks 5. A friction pad 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the handle 7 near the limiting screw 6. When the handle 7 is tightened, the friction pad 8 can be pressed tightly against the outside of the device base 1, thereby limiting a certain distance of the T-shaped blocks 5.

[0040] The height adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod 10, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 4. A rotating block 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 4. The adjustment rod 10 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating block 11. A support shell 12 is fixedly connected between the sliding rod 9 and the adjustment rod 10. Both the sliding rod 9 and the adjustment rod 10 are reinforced with a rod at their connection to the support shell 12.

[0041] The rotating assembly includes a placement box 14, with rotating shafts 13 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the placement box 14. The ends of the two rotating shafts 13 away from the placement box 14 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support shell 12. Side plates 15 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the placement box 14, and a top cover 16 is rotatably connected to the top of the placement box 14. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the outer walls of the placement box 14, side plates 15, and top cover 16. The ventilation holes allow sunlight and wind to freely enter the placement box 14, side plates 15, and top cover 16, while restricting the entry of flying insects and preventing the tea from being contaminated by contact between flying insects and tea leaves.

[0042] The switch adjustment assembly includes a fixed housing 17, which is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 16. A limiting rod 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 17. The bottom of the limiting rod 18 is inserted into the side plate 15. A sliding ring 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 18 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 17. A spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 18. The two ends of the spring 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring 20 and the inner wall of the fixed housing 17, respectively. The limiting rod 18 can be inserted into the side plate 15 to restrict the top cover 16 and the side plate 15, so that the placement box 14, the side plate 15 and the top cover 16 can form a space for storing and drying tea. When the side plate 15 and the top cover 16 are opened, it is convenient to pour out the tea, reducing the damage to the tea when it is taken out by hand.

[0043] Through the above structural design, by pulling the limiting rod 18, the limiting rod 18 can be moved away from the side plate 15. During this process, the limiting rod 18 drives the sliding ring 20 to slide inside the fixed shell 17, and causes the spring 19 to undergo box deformation. The limiting rod 18 moving away from the side plate 15 releases the restriction between the top cover 16 and the side plate 15, allowing the operator to freely rotate the top cover 16 and the side plate 15 to a suitable position. Then, the limiting rod 18 is released, and under the action of the spring 19, the limiting rod 18 slides a certain distance inside the fixed shell 17. Then, the tea leaves are placed in the space formed by the placement box 14, the side plate 15, and the top cover 16. Then, the limiting rod 18 is pulled up and the side plate 15 and the top cover 16 are rotated so that the side plate 15 contacts the top cover 16. After that, the limiting rod 18 is released, allowing the limiting rod 18 to insert into the side plate 15, thus surrounding the tea leaves. Sunlight and wind can enter the interior through the ventilation holes on the placement box 14, the side plate 15, and the top cover 16. Side panels 15 and top cover 16 can prevent flying insects from contacting the tea leaves. Turning handle 7 increases the distance between handle 7 and device base 1, allowing the corresponding T-shaped block 5 to slide freely inside device base 1, which in turn drives the U-shaped frame 4 to slide. Furthermore, the distance between multiple U-shaped frames 4 can be adjusted. After adjusting the U-shaped frame 4 to the appropriate position, turn handle 7 in the opposite direction to move the limiting screw 6 into the T-shaped block 5, so that the friction pad 8 is tightly attached to the outside of device base 1. Then, rotate rotating block 11 to raise or lower the adjusting rod 10 under the restriction of support shell 12 and sliding rod 9, thereby adjusting the height of support shell 12. After adjusting support shell 12 to the appropriate height, release rotating block 11. When collecting the dried tea leaves, pull limiting rod 18 to unfold top cover 16 and side panels 15, and rotate placement box 14 to pour out the dried tea leaves.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] The drying device provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped rod 21. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod 21. The outer wall of the support shell 12 and the front and rear sides are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves 22. The L-shaped rod 21 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped grooves 22. The arc-shaped grooves 22 and the L-shaped rod 21 limit the rotation angle of the rotating shafts 13, avoiding excessive rotation of the placement box 14, which would increase the difficulty of limiting the placement box 14 to a horizontal state.

[0046] The limiting mechanism 3 also includes an adjusting screw 23. The inner wall of the support shell 12 is threaded with the adjusting screw 23. The top of the adjusting screw 23 is fixedly connected to a top block 24. By simply rotating the adjusting screw 23, the top block 24 can be made to contact the bottom of the placement box 14, so that the placement box 14 cannot be rotated, thus limiting the placement box 14 to a horizontal state.

[0047] With the above structural design, when it is necessary to restrict the placement box 14 to a horizontal state, rotating the adjusting screw 23 will drive the top block 24 to rotate and move upward, thereby supporting the placement box 14, causing the rotating shaft 13 to rotate accordingly, and causing the L-shaped rod 21 to slide in the arc groove 22. When the L-shaped rod 21 slides above the arc groove 22, the placement box 14 is in a horizontal state, and rotating the adjusting screw 23 can no longer make the placement box 14 rotate, thus completing the restriction of the placement box 14. When it is necessary to release the restriction of the placement box 14, simply reverse the adjusting screw 23.
