Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically to a cellar-making device for Osmanthus Green Tea. Background Technology

[0002] Osmanthus-infused green tea cellaring is a traditional process that combines green tea with fresh osmanthus flowers. Through the fusion of floral and tea aromas, the green tea is endowed with a unique osmanthus fragrance. The processing steps include: ① In a container, evenly layer osmanthus flowers and green tea according to the raw material ratio, repeating this layering process until a pile is formed. The top layer is covered with tea leaves; ② After the tea leaves have absorbed the fragrance for a period of time (usually 2 to 3 hours), the temperature of the tea pile will rise to about 40℃. At this time, the tea pile should be opened up in time to allow the flowers to dissipate heat and prevent the tea leaves from deteriorating due to high temperature; ③ When the temperature of the tea pile drops below 20℃, it must be gathered together for a second cellaring process. After a period of time, the tea leaves will have absorbed the fragrance evenly.

[0003] Currently, the work of breaking up and gathering tea piles relies on manual labor, which involves people using hand-held prying poles. When the processing volume is large, this results in low efficiency for manual operation. Furthermore, if the tea cannot be broken up and gathered in time, it will deteriorate due to high temperatures, and the product will also suffer from insufficient aroma. Therefore, it is necessary to design a cellaring device that can replace manual labor to break up and gather tea piles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a cellaring device for Osmanthus Green Tea, which provides a cellaring device for separating and gathering tea piles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cellaring device for osmanthus green tea includes a cellar box, the cellar box including a box lid, a motor fixedly mounted on the box lid, and symmetrically mounted racks on the box lid. The motor drives gears that mesh with both racks on both sides. The cellar box is symmetrically provided with gathering plates that are fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding racks. The gathering plates and racks are both horizontally slidably connected to the box lid. Each of the two gathering plates has a vertical groove on one side opposite to the other side, and the other end of each rack on both sides is fixedly provided with a lever embedded in the corresponding groove.

[0007] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0008] Initially, the two gathering plates are close together, and the rakes are hidden in their corresponding grooves. The racks and motor are located above the fermentation chamber, creating a space between the gathering plates for stacking osmanthus green tea. Osmanthus flowers and green tea are evenly layered according to the raw material ratio, repeating this process until a pile is formed. After the tea leaves have absorbed the aroma for a period of time, the temperature of the tea pile rises, at which point it needs to be separated. Specifically: the motor drives the gears to rotate, which in turn drives the racks on both sides to move apart. The racks then move the rakes and gathering plates connected to them synchronously. The separation of the gathering plates increases the stacking space, providing the necessary space to separate the tea pile. Once the rakes on both sides contact the tea pile, they separate it. After the temperature of the tea pile decreases, the motor drives the gears to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the racks on both sides to move towards each other, and the gathering plates on both sides to gather the tea pile together. At the same time, the rakes return to their grooves and are hidden.

[0009] In this application, the pry bar is firstly hidden within a groove, while the rack, motor, and gears are all located at the top of the fermentation chamber. A space for stacking osmanthus green tea is formed between the gathering plates on both sides, with no obstructions within the space, allowing the green tea and osmanthus to fully contact each other and for the green tea to fully absorb the osmanthus aroma. Secondly, the motor drives the pry bar and gathering plates on both sides to move apart or toward each other, thus separating and gathering the tea pile, allowing the tea pile to dissipate heat and absorb aroma. In summary, this application can significantly enhance the aroma of the product, while being more efficient than manual operation, and also avoiding the reduction in tea quality caused by untimely separation and gathering.

[0010] In some embodiments, both the pry bar and the gathering plate are covered with a silicone sleeve. The silicone sleeve is soft and deformable, which minimizes damage to the tea leaves during the movement of the pry bar and the gathering plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the motor is a servo motor. Firstly, the servo motor has forward and reverse rotation capabilities, thereby driving the gears to rotate in both directions. Secondly, the servo motor provides precise steering, smooth transmission, and a self-locking function.

[0012] In some embodiments, there are multiple grooves, evenly spaced along the horizontal direction. The number of grooves corresponds to the number of rakes, thus effectively separating the tea pile.

[0013] In some embodiments, the arrangement of the plurality of rakes extends to the central axis of the fermentation box. This optimization can improve the effect of rakening the tea pile.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cellar box further includes a door. The tea leaves and osmanthus flowers can be placed or removed by opening the door. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0022] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the instruction manual include: 1. cellar box; 2. gathering plate; 3. motor; 4. rack; 5. linkage plate; 6. gear; 7. puller; 8. groove.

[0023] In the following statements, directional terms such as "left," "right," "up," and "down" are based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the direction while maintaining their relative positions, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0024] Example 1: A cellaring device for Osmanthus Green Tea, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a cellar box 1 and a motor 3. The cellar box 1 includes a box cover and a front hinged door (not shown in the figure). The box cover is symmetrically provided with racks 4 and gathering plates 2. A horizontal slide rail is fixedly provided at the bottom of the box cover. The top of the gathering plate 2 is equipped with pulleys and slide rails to achieve sliding connection. The horizontal slide rail restricts the gathering plate 2 to slide horizontally only left and right. One end of the racks 4 on both sides is fixedly connected to the corresponding gathering plates. The racks 4 are supported by the gathering plates 2. The motor 3 drives gears 6 that mesh with gears 6 on both sides. The motor 3 is a servo motor.

[0025] Servo motors are commonly used mechanical transmission components in this field. They are motors that convert electrical signals into mechanical motion. By controlling the motor's current, they can rotate the motor to a desired position and maintain that position. Furthermore, servo motors have a self-locking function. The self-locking principle is mainly achieved through an electromagnetic brake built into the servo motor, which locks the output shaft of the servo motor 8. When the servo motor is powered off or stopped, the electromagnetic brake automatically activates and locks the servo motor output shaft, i.e., the locking gear 6 remains stationary. The gear 6, through the rack 4, further locks the corresponding gathering plate 2, keeping it stationary. In this embodiment 1, the servo motor 8 is a Nidec MZ751A200 servo motor manufactured by Nidec Corporation to provide a larger locking force.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, each of the two gathering plates 2 has five vertical grooves 8 on one side. The other end of the two racks 4 is fixed with a linkage plate 5. The linkage plate 5 is fixedly connected to five levers 7 embedded in the corresponding grooves 8. The levers 7 and the gathering plates 2 are covered with a silicone sleeve. The silicone sleeve is soft and can deform slightly, which can minimize the damage to the tea leaves during the movement of the levers 7 and the gathering plates 2.

[0027] Initially, the two gathering plates 2 are close to each other, and the levers 7 are hidden in their corresponding grooves 8. The rack 4 and motor 3 are both located above the fermentation chamber 1, and the gathering plates 2 remain stationary under the locking of the motor 3. A space for stacking osmanthus green tea is formed between the two gathering plates 2. Osmanthus flowers and green tea are evenly layered according to the raw material ratio, repeating this layering process. After the tea leaves have absorbed the aroma for a period of time, the temperature of the tea pile rises, at which point it needs to be separated. Figure 3 As shown, specifically: the motor 3 drives the gear 6 to rotate, the gear 6 drives the racks 4 on both sides to move apart, the racks 4 drive the linkage plate 5, the puller 7 and the gathering plate 2 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously, the gathering plates 2 on both sides move apart to increase the stacking space, thus providing the space required to separate the tea pile, the puller 7 on both sides moves apart and contacts the tea pile to separate it, after the temperature of the tea pile drops, the motor 3 drives the gear 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the racks 4 on both sides move towards each other, the gathering plates 2 on both sides move towards each other to gather the tea pile, and at the same time the puller 7 returns to the groove 8 to hide.

[0028] In this application, the pry bar 7 is hidden within the groove 8, while the rack 4, motor 3, and gear 6 are all located at the top of the fermentation box 1. The space between the gathering plates 2 on both sides forms a space for stacking osmanthus green tea. There are no obstructions in the space, which allows the green tea and osmanthus to come into full contact, allowing the green tea to fully absorb the aroma of osmanthus. Secondly, the motor 3 drives the pry bar 7 and gathering plates 2 on both sides to move apart or toward each other. The pry bar 7 and gathering plates 2 separate and gather the tea pile, allowing the tea pile to dissipate heat and absorb aroma. In summary, this application can significantly improve the aroma of the product. At the same time, it is more efficient than manual prying and gathering, and also avoids damage to the quality of tea caused by untimely prying and gathering.

[0029] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to increase the distance of the tea pile being separated, the length of the toothed rack 4 is extended, and an opening for the toothed rack 4 to pass through is provided on the gathering plate 2.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
