Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a vacuum drying device for tea fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea processing, the drying process after fermentation is crucial. Traditional tea drying methods have many problems.

[0003] A search revealed patent application number CN202123162036.4, which discloses a vacuum drying device for tea fermentation, including a fermentation tank and a main pipe. Beneficial effects: This invention employs a heating box, a heating plate, and a lever. Water is heated inside the heating box, and the heated water is pumped into the main pipe via a circulating pump. The water is then distributed to the heating plate through the main pipe, resulting in more stable and uniform heating. The rotation of the main pipe causes the heating plate and its outer ring to rotate, thereby rotating the fermenting tea leaves and creating relative rotation with the lever.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned patent has the following drawbacks: after the tea leaves are dried, they need to be manually collected from the heating box bit by bit, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly increasing the workload of the staff. Therefore, we propose a vacuum drying device for tea fermentation. Utility Model Content

[0026] Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad 9 is made of highly elastic and wear-resistant rubber material, which can effectively absorb the vibration energy generated by the vibration motor.

[0027] Specifically, a storage box 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the box 1, and multiple feed hoppers 6 are fixedly installed on the left side of the storage box 5.

[0028] In practice, a discharge pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the storage box 5. The right end of the discharge pipe 7 passes through the box body 1 and extends to the outside of the box body 1. A valve is installed on the discharge pipe 7.

[0029] Specifically, the deflection mechanism 14 includes an electric push rod 141, a support block 142, a vertical plate 143, a first fixing block 144, a fixing rod 145, a rotating block 146, a mesh box 147, a box cover 148, a discharge pipe 149, a second fixing block 150, and a connecting rod 151. Two electric push rods 141 are fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the box body 1.

[0030] In practice, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 141 passes through the housing 1 and extends into the interior of the housing 1. The telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 141 are fixedly connected to the same support block 142, and a vertical plate 143 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support block 142.

[0031] Specifically, three first fixing blocks 144 are fixedly connected to the right side of the vertical plate 143, three fixing rods 145 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the box 1, a rotating block 146 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing rod 145, a mesh box 147 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating block 146, a box cover 148 is movably snapped onto the top of the mesh box 147, and a discharge pipe 149 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the mesh box 147.

[0032] In practice, a valve is installed on the discharge pipe 149, and a second fixing block 150 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mesh box 147. The adjacent first fixing block 144 and the second fixing block 150 are hinged together by a connecting rod 151. The vibration motor 4, vacuum pump 10, heating plate 12 and electric push rod 141 are electrically connected to the controller 3 respectively.

[0033] Specifically, a receiving box 16 is provided below the discharge pipe 7 for collecting the dried tea leaves.

[0034] In practical application: When using the equipment, place the tea leaves inside the mesh box 147, then close the lid 148 and the door 2. Then, start the heating plate 12 to heat the inside of the box 1. At the same time, start the vibration motor 4 to drive the box 1 to vibrate, which in turn causes the tea leaves inside the mesh box 147 to vibrate, so that the tea leaves can be continuously turned over, thereby improving the uniformity of heating. Meanwhile, the vacuum pump 10 starts to extract the gas from the box 1, so that the inside of the box 1 is in a negative pressure state. This also extracts the water vapor generated during the drying process from the box 1, improving the dryness inside the box 1, facilitating the rapid drying of the tea leaves, and increasing the drying speed. After the tea leaves are dried, simply place the receiving box 16 below the discharge pipe 7. Then, the electric push rod 141 drives the support block 142, the vertical plate 143, and the first fixed block 144 to move downwards. This, in turn, drives the second fixed block 150 and the mesh box 147 to deflect along the lower right of the fixed rod 145 via the connecting rod 151. This causes the discharge pipe 149 to deflect into the feed hopper 6. Then, open the valves on the discharge pipe 149 and the discharge pipe 7, and simultaneously start the vibration motor 4. This allows the tea leaves inside the mesh box 147 to be quickly discharged into the feed hopper 6 through the discharge pipe 149. The tea leaves then pass through the feed hopper 6 and fall into the storage box 5. Finally, the tea leaves are discharged through the discharge pipe 7 and fall into the receiving box 16 for collection. Through these steps, the dried tea leaves can be collected quickly and conveniently. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.
