AI Technical Summary
In existing tea fixing machines, the tea leaves move back and forth within the device due to gravity during the stirring process. The lower tea leaves are closest to the heating element, which can easily cause the leaves to scorch and affect the fixing effect.
The system employs a turning mechanism, which includes components such as a rotating ring, a circular plate, a motor, a rotating rod, and a storage shell. The motor drives the rotating rod to turn the storage shell over the tea leaves inside the fixing cylinder, ensuring that the tea leaves at the bottom are evenly distributed to the top and preventing them from burning due to prolonged heating.
This method ensures even distribution of tea leaves during the fixation process, preventing the bottom leaves from overheating and scorching, thus improving the fixation effect.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tea fixing machine for tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, the process of fixing tea leaves involves 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, softening the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape, and at the same time removing the grassy smell and promoting the formation of a good aroma. It is one of the initial processing steps for green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc., and fixing is a key step in the formation of the shape and quality of green tea and other teas.
[0003] In tea processing, existing equipment includes a stirring device inside to reduce the need for manpower. However, the stirring device has certain limitations. During stirring, the tea leaves move back and forth inside the equipment under the influence of gravity. Most of the tea leaves at the bottom of the equipment remain at the bottom, and are always closest to the heating elements, thus receiving the most heat. Over time, this can easily lead to scorched leaves, affecting the withering effect. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A tea fixing machine for tea processing includes a support base 1, a fixing cylinder 2 at the upper end of the support base 1, and a heating component inside the fixing cylinder 2. In the prior art, the fixing cylinder 2 is equipped with a turning mechanism inside.
[0022] The turning mechanism includes a rotating ring 11 rotatably connected to the rear end of the blanching cylinder 2. The rotating ring 11 can rotate relative to the blanching cylinder 2. A circular plate 4 is rotatably connected inside the rotating ring 11. The circular plate 4 is fixedly connected to the blanching cylinder 2 by a U-shaped rod 10, so that the circular plate 4 is in a stable state. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the circular plate 4. The motor 14 is a driving device. In the prior art, a rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. The motor 14 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. A storage shell 3 is rotatably connected to the front end of the rotating rod 7. The rotating rod 7 drives the storage shell 3 to rotate. The storage shell 3 moves. The storage shell 3 is arc-shaped. When it is located on the inner wall of the blanching cylinder 2, it can fit against the inner wall of the blanching cylinder 2, so that it can move stably. The rear end of the storage shell 3 is fixedly connected to the gear 12. The movement of the storage shell 3 drives the gear 12 to move. The gear 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 11. The top of the rear end of the blanching cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the tooth 15. When the gear 12 moves and meshes with the tooth 15, the gear 12 rotates. The front end of the blanching cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the limit rod 13. The limit rod 13 has a pushing effect on the storage shell 3.
[0023] During operation, the tea leaves to be processed are placed inside the processing cylinder 2. The motor 14 is started, and the motor 14 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 moves the storage shell 3. When there is no external force, the opening of the storage shell 3 is vertically upward under the action of gravity. When the storage shell 3 moves, it contacts the limiting rod 13. Under the action of the limiting rod 13, the storage shell 3 rotates, causing the opening of the storage shell 3 to face downward. At this time, the side wall of the storage shell 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the processing cylinder 2. Then, the rotating rod 7 drives the storage shell 3 to move in contact with the inner wall of the processing cylinder 2. When the storage shell 3 moves, it pushes the tea leaves located at the lower end of the inner wall of the processing cylinder 2. The rotating rod 7 moves the storage shell 3 into the interior, and then continues to move the storage shell 3. When the storage shell 3 moves, it drives the gear 12 fixedly connected to the rear end to move. The gear 12 moves to the upper end of the fixing cylinder 2 and contacts the teeth 15, thereby causing the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 drives the storage shell 3 to rotate, pouring out the tea leaves inside the storage shell 3. When the storage shell 3 rotates, it can gradually pour out the tea leaves, making the tea leaves evenly distributed. This cycle continues, so that during operation, the tea leaves located at the lower end of the fixing cylinder 2 can be continuously brought to the upper position, avoiding the tea leaves at the bottom from being heated and scorched for a long time, thus improving the fixing effect.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 6. The motor 14 drives the reciprocating lead screw 6 to rotate. The front end of the support base 1 is fixedly connected to the rod 5. The inside of the rod 5 is meshed with the rod wall of the reciprocating lead screw 6, thereby causing the rod 5 to move back and forth relative to the reciprocating lead screw 6. The front end of the rod wall of the reciprocating lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the front end of the blanching cylinder 2. The lower inner wall of the support base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 8. A slider 9 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 8. The slider 9 moves back and forth inside the sliding groove 8. The upper end of the slider 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the blanching cylinder 2.
[0025] When the motor 14 is working, it drives the reciprocating screw 6 to rotate. Because it is meshed with the rod 5, the reciprocating screw 6 drives the fixing cylinder 2 to move back and forth, which makes the tea leaves in the fixing cylinder 2 shake and distribute evenly, further improving the fixing effect.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 A baffle is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the tea-killing cylinder 2 to prevent the tea leaves from falling out when the storage shell 3 is pushed.
[0027] Working principle: During operation, the tea leaves to be processed are placed inside the processing cylinder 2. The motor 14 is started, driving the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 moves the storage shell 3. Without any external force, the storage shell 3 opens vertically upwards under gravity. As the storage shell 3 moves, it contacts the limiting rod 13. Under the action of the limiting rod 13, the storage shell 3 rotates, causing its opening to face downwards. At this time, the side wall of the storage shell 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the processing cylinder 2. Therefore, the rotating rod 7 drives the storage shell 3 to move in contact with the inner wall of the processing cylinder 2. As the storage shell 3 moves... Then, the tea leaves located at the lower end of the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 2 are pushed into the storage shell 3. Then, the rotating rod 7 continues to drive the storage shell 3 to move. When the storage shell 3 moves, it drives the gear 12 fixedly connected to the rear end to move. The gear 12 moves to the upper end of the fixing cylinder 2 and contacts the teeth 15, thereby causing the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 drives the storage shell 3 to rotate, pouring out the tea leaves inside the storage shell 3. This process is repeated. In this way, the tea leaves located at the lower end of the fixing cylinder 2 can be continuously brought to the upper position during operation, avoiding the tea leaves at the bottom from being heated and scorched for a long time, thus improving the fixing effect.
