[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-4 A temperature control device for a tea fermentation chamber includes a fermentation chamber 1. A first partition 13 is fixed to the middle of the side wall of the fermentation chamber 1. A second partition 4 is installed at the upper end of the first partition 13. A third partition 14 is connected to the lower end of the first partition 13. One side of the second partition 4 is configured as a fermentation chamber 5, and the other side of the second partition 4 is configured as an installation chamber 2. A bracket 19 is fixed to the upper surface of the first partition 13, located in the middle of the fermentation chamber 1. A fermentation tray 12 is placed on the upper end of the bracket 19. A circulation device is installed on the side of the second partition 4 facing the installation chamber 2. The air intake and exhaust ends of the fan 3 and the circulating fan 3 are both connected to air ducts. One end of each air duct is fixed to the second partition 4 and the two air ducts are connected to the fermentation chamber 5. A ceramic heating plate 20 is installed on the upper surface of the first partition 13 and inside the fermentation chamber 5. A temperature sensor 9 is installed on the side of the second partition 4 facing the fermentation chamber 5. A controller 10 is installed on the outer wall of the fermentation box 1. The temperature sensor 9, the circulating fan 3 and the ceramic heating plate 20 are all electrically connected to the controller 10. A top cover 6 is installed on the top of the fermentation box 1.

[0021] A cooling fan 15 is installed in the middle of the third partition 14. Ventilation holes 16 are opened at the four corners of the first partition 13 located in the fermentation chamber 5. An exhaust vent 8 is opened on the top cover 6 located on one side of the fermentation chamber 5. The cooling fan 15 is electrically connected to the controller 10.

[0022] An air inlet 17 is provided on one side of the fermentation box 1, and a filter screen is installed at the air inlet 17.

[0023] A cooling coil 11 is installed on one side of the air intake end of the cooling fan 15. The end of the cooling coil 11 extends to the outside of the fermentation box 1 and is connected to an external refrigeration system.

[0024] Fermenting tea leaves on fermentation tray 12 is performed using temperature sensor 9 to detect the temperature of fermentation chamber 5 and transmit the temperature information to controller 10. When the temperature is low, controller 10 controls ceramic heating plate 20 to turn on, thereby raising the temperature of fermentation chamber 5. Controller 10 also controls circulating fan 3 to start, ensuring air circulation in fermentation chamber 5 and uniform heat distribution. When the temperature is high, controller 10 controls ceramic heating plate 20 to turn off and cooling fan 15 to turn on, allowing cold air from outside to enter the bottom of fermentation chamber 1 through air inlet 17. Simultaneously, the refrigeration system operates, with refrigerant flowing in refrigeration coil 11 to achieve cooling. Cold air enters fermentation chamber 5 through ventilation hole 16 of first partition 13, cooling fermentation chamber 5. This maintains the temperature of fermentation chamber 5 within a certain range, effectively solving the problems of temperature control in traditional tea fermentation chambers. It provides a stable, suitable, and uniform temperature environment for tea fermentation, greatly improving the quality of tea fermentation and demonstrating good application prospects and promotional value.

[0025] Example 2 is an optimization based on Example 1, specifically:

[0026] T-shaped pins 7 are slidably inserted into one of the four corners of the top cover 6 and the exhaust port 8. The ends of the T-shaped pins 7 are connected to cover plates 18.

[0027] The air pressure generated by the cooling fan 15 when it is working can push open the cover plate 18, so that the heat can be discharged from the exhaust port 8 in time, which helps to ensure that the temperature of the fermentation chamber 5 drops rapidly.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
