Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a tea fixing device for tea processing and production. Background Technology

[0002] Fixing (or killing the green) is one of the initial processing steps for green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, and other teas. Generally, fixing refers to using high temperatures to destroy and deactivate the oxidase activity in fresh tea leaves, inhibiting the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols and other substances in the fresh leaves, evaporating some of the moisture in the fresh leaves, making the tea leaves softer and easier to roll and shape, while also removing the grassy smell and promoting the formation of a good aroma. Fixing is an indispensable and important step in the tea production process, especially crucial for the formation of the characteristics of green tea. Mastering the fixing technique is particularly important for the quality of green tea.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN212678244U, a tea processing and production fixing device includes a heating barrel. A bearing ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the center of the heating barrel. Support plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper side of the bearing ring. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the upper ends of the two support plates. A lifting mechanism is provided on the heating barrel. A sieve plate is movably connected inside the heating barrel. The lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the sieve plate. The lifting mechanism includes a motor. The motor is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate through a mounting bracket. A drive wheel is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor. The gear shaft of the drive wheel is rotatably connected to the center of the connecting plate. This utility model solves the problem that the existing tea fixing method of stir-frying tea leaves easily leads to poor fixing effect. The above-mentioned device fixes the tea leaves by placing them on the sieve plate and vibrating them. Although it achieves the fixing effect, it is inconvenient to remove the fixed tea leaves. It requires manual insertion into the sieve plate to remove the material, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, a tea fixing device for tea processing and production is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tea fixing device for tea processing and production, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a tea fixing device for tea processing, including a tank, a heating tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank, and a fixing trough slidably connected inside the tank. An installation mechanism is provided outside the fixing trough. The installation mechanism includes a bracket, an L-shaped rod, a connecting plate, a movable rod, and a fixed rod. The L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the tank and slidably connected to the bracket through the bracket. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the bracket. Rectangular holes are opened on both the left and right sides of the fixing trough. The fixed rod is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rod and slidably connected to the rectangular hole through the rectangular hole.

[0006] Preferably, the movable rod passes through the connecting plate and is slidably connected to the connecting plate. A U-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod. By setting the U-shaped rod, two movable rods on the connecting plate can be pulled at the same time.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable rod, and one end of a spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting piece, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate. By setting the spring, the fixed rod can be driven to reset.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the U-shaped rod is rotatably connected to a limit rod via a damping shaft, and the outer wall of the L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to an L-shaped limit plate. The damping shaft prevents the limit rod from rotating.

[0009] Preferably, a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped rod, and a second spring is provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate. The two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate and the bottom of the inner wall of the bracket, respectively. By providing the second spring, the bracket can stably vibrate up and down.

[0010] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the back of the tank, a motor is fixedly installed inside the L-shaped plate, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. A circular plate is provided inside the bracket, and the front end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the non-center part of the back of the circular plate.

[0011] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This tea processing and production tea fixing device, by pulling the movable rod, the movable rod drives the fixed rod to disengage from the rectangular hole, thereby releasing the fixing trough from restriction. Then, by holding the rectangular hole by hand, the fixing trough can be lifted upwards, making it convenient for workers to pick up materials. During the material picking process, the movable rod is pulled by the U-shaped rod until the fixed rod disengages from the rectangular hole. Then, the limiting rod is rotated so that one end of the limiting rod rotates into the inside of the L-shaped limiting piece. Then, the U-shaped rod is released to keep the fixed rod in the disengaged state, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the fixing trough.

[0013] 2. The tea fixing device used in tea processing production works by pouring tea leaves into the fixing tank, energizing the heating element to bring the tank to a certain temperature, starting the motor to drive the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the circular plate to make eccentric motion. The circular plate continuously presses against the support, and with the help of spring 2, the fixing tank vibrates up and down repeatedly inside the tank, thereby turning the tea leaves and improving the fixing effect.
