[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0022] Example 1: A blending and mixing device for processing Pu'er tea includes a working chamber 1. A drive mechanism 2 is installed at the top of one side of the working chamber 1. A first rotating rod 3 is installed at the bottom of the drive mechanism 2. First stirring blades 301 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the first rotating rod 3. A telescopic mechanism 4 is installed inside the bottom of the first rotating rod 3. A reset mechanism 5 is installed at the middle position of both sides inside the working chamber 1. A sieve plate 6 is installed at the middle position of the two sets of reset mechanisms 5. A toggle mechanism 7 is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the working chamber 1. A material layer 8 is installed inside the working chamber 1. An electric heating plate is installed on the inner wall of the working chamber 1 to appropriately heat the tea leaves. The sieve plate 6 can be used to sieve broken leaves and impurities in the blended Pu'er tea material.

[0023] A door 101 is installed on one side of the working chamber 1. A viewing window 102 is installed in the middle of the inside of the door 101. A feed inlet 103 is installed in the middle of the top of the working chamber 1. A discharge outlet 104 is installed at the bottom of one side of the working chamber 1. The door 101 can be opened to take out the mixed Pu'er tea materials. At the same time, the viewing window 102 can be used to observe the mixing of Pu'er tea inside the working chamber 1. The feed inlet 103 and the discharge outlet 104 can be used to feed Pu'er tea materials and discharge Pu'er tea residue, respectively.

[0024] The drive mechanism 2 includes a linear motor 201 mounted on the top of one side of the working chamber 1. A fixed seat 202 is mounted on one side of the linear motor 201. A first motor 203 with a first rotating rod 3 mounted on the output shaft is mounted in the middle of one side of the fixed seat 202. When the linear motor 201 is started, it can drive the fixed seat 202 to reciprocate inside the working chamber 1. At the same time, when the first motor 203 inside the fixed seat 202 is started, it can drive the first rotating rod 3 below and the telescopic mechanism 4 to rotate.

[0025] The telescopic mechanism 4 includes a movable rod 401 that is slidably connected to the bottom of the first rotating rod 3. A square block 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod 401, and a ball bearing 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the square block 402. Second stirring blades 405 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the movable rod 401. When the movable rod 401 is subjected to the lifting force of the sieve plate 6, it can be squeezed by the square block 402 to the 403. At this time, the movable rod 401 can be retracted into the interior of the first rotating rod 3, so that the normal operation of the first rotating rod 3 and the telescopic mechanism 4 is not affected during the shaking of the sieve plate 6.

[0026] The reset mechanism 5 includes a slide rod 501 fixedly connected to both sides inside the working chamber 1. A slider 502 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 501 and fixedly connected to the screen plate 6 on one side. A spring 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 502. When the screen plate 6 is subjected to force, it can drive the slider 502 to slide on the slide rod 501 and compress the spring 503. When the force on the screen plate 6 is released, the reaction force of the spring 503 being compressed can push the screen plate 6 to reset quickly through the slider 502.

[0027] The actuating mechanism 7 includes a second motor 701 installed at the bottom of one side inside the working chamber 1. A second rotating rod 702 is installed at the output shaft end of the second motor 701. Actuating blocks 703 are fixedly connected to both sides of the second rotating rod 702. When the second motor 701 is started, it can drive the second rotating rod 702 to rotate. At this time, the actuating blocks 703 on the second rotating rod 702 can repeatedly push the screen plate 6 to move up and down.

[0028] Example 2 differs from Example 1 mainly in that:

[0029] A blending and mixing device for processing Pu'er tea includes a heat insulation layer 801 set in the middle of the working chamber 1 in the material layer 8. The heat insulation layer 801 is a mixture of polyurethane foam and silicone, which has excellent heat insulation and heat insulation performance. It can effectively reduce the impact of external temperature on the internal environment of the blending and mixing device. At the same time, the sealing property of silicone can effectively prevent heat loss and reduce the fluctuation of humidity inside the device.

[0030] The insulation layer 801 is surrounded by a strength layer 802, which is a composite material of aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Aluminum alloy has high strength and rigidity, while being lightweight. Stainless steel has excellent oxidation resistance and is not easily corroded by moisture in tea leaves or acidic substances produced during fermentation, making it suitable for long-term contact with tea raw materials.

[0031] The insulation layer 801 has a composite layer 803 inside. The insulation layer 801 is a composite layer of stainless steel nickel plating and natural bamboo charcoal. The nickel plating can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and mold when the tea comes into contact with the equipment surface during the fermentation process. The bamboo charcoal layer has natural antibacterial and adsorption properties, which can absorb harmful gases and moisture during the tea fermentation process, prevent the equipment from having odors, and provide a stable environment during the tea processing process, promote the uniform fermentation of tea, and enhance the aroma and taste of tea. At the same time, the contents not described in detail in this specification are all prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] In this embodiment, different tea materials are poured into the top of the sieve plate 6 inside the working chamber 1 through the feed inlet 103 in a certain proportion. At this time, the first motor 203 is started, which drives the first rotating rod 3 and the telescopic mechanism 4 to rotate. The first stirring blade 301 and the second stirring blade 405 on the first rotating rod 3 and the telescopic mechanism 4 can quickly mix the tea. The linear motor 201 is started, which drives the first rotating rod 3 and the telescopic mechanism 4 to reciprocate inside the working chamber 1 through the fixed base 202, thereby uniformly mixing the tea. At the same time, the mixed tea can be piled up on the top of the sieve plate 6. At this time, the second motor 701 is started, which drives the second rotating rod 702 and the agitator block 703 to rotate. The agitator block 703 can repeatedly push the sieve plate 6 to lift, so that the sieve plate 6 can turn and sieve the tea at the top. At this time, broken leaves and impurities in the tea can fall into the bottom of the working chamber 1 through the sieve plate 6 and can be removed by opening the chamber door 101. At the same time, the residue in the tea can be discharged through the feed inlet 103.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
