Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea drying technology, and in particular to a drying structure for tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tea drinking culture has a long history in China. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the market demand for tea is increasing, and the quality requirements for tea are also getting higher. Fresh tea leaves generally cannot be brewed directly and need to undergo a series of processing steps. Drying is one of the tea-making processes. The purpose of drying is: first, to use high temperature to destroy enzymes and stop enzymatic oxidation; second, to evaporate moisture, shrink the tea leaves, and make the tea leaves fully dry to prevent enzymatic oxidation and maintain quality; and third, to remove any unpleasant odors and further enhance and develop the aroma. Only after drying can the tea leaves bring out their color and flavor when brewed.

[0003] In existing tea processing, drying is required. The common method involves placing the tea leaves on a drying board, which is then placed inside a drying oven. However, this method causes the tea leaves to pile up, resulting in uneven drying between the outer and inner layers, potentially affecting the overall drying effect. Furthermore, the piled-up tea leaves may stick together during drying, further impacting the drying process and reducing the quality of the tea. Therefore, this paper proposes a new drying structure for tea processing to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a drying structure for tea processing, including a drying box 1, a tea placing mechanism 2 inside the drying box 1, and a hot air mechanism 3 inside the drying box 1.

[0027] In this invention, tea leaves can be placed using the tea leaf placement mechanism 2, and the placed tea leaves can be dried using the hot air mechanism 3. During the drying process, the tea leaf placement mechanism 2 can turn the tea leaves over to ensure the drying effect and prevent the tea leaves from sticking together, thus ensuring the production quality of the tea.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the tea placing mechanism 2 includes two slide rods 21, two sliding blocks 22, two mounting plates 23, two support blocks 24, a placing box 25, a reciprocating assembly 26, a fixing assembly 27, and a handle 28. The two slide rods 21 are respectively located between the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1. The two sliding blocks 22 are slidably connected to the outside of the two slide rods 21. The two mounting plates 23 are located between opposite sides of the two sliding blocks 22. The two support blocks 24 are respectively located on opposite sides of the two mounting plates 23. The placing box 25 is slidably connected between opposite sides of the two mounting plates 23.

The output end of the reciprocating assembly 26 is connected to the right mounting plate 23. The fixing assembly 27 is located on the front of the placing box 25. The handle 28 is located on the front of the placing box 25.

[0029] It should be noted that the tea leaves can be placed in the placement box 25, and the bottom of the placement box 25 can be supported by the support block 24. Simultaneously, under the action of the reciprocating assembly 26, the reciprocating assembly 26 will drive the right mounting plate 23 to move back and forth. Under the action of the two sliding rods 21 and the two sliding blocks 22, the right and left mounting plates 23 will drive the placement box 25 to move back and forth. The two sliding rods 21 and the two sliding blocks 22 can guide the two mounting plates 23, ensuring the stability of their movement, thereby further ensuring the stability of the movement of the placement box 25. When the placement box 25... When the container moves back and forth, the tea leaves inside will turn over, ensuring the drying effect of the tea leaves inside the container 25. At the same time, the turning over of the tea leaves also prevents them from sticking together, further ensuring the drying effect of the tea leaves. With the help of the two support blocks 24 and the two mounting plates 23, the container 25 can be taken out from the drying box 1 and placed inside the drying box 1 by the handle 28. The fixing component 27 can fix the container 25 when it is placed, ensuring the stability of the container 25 when it is placed inside the drying box 1 and preventing the container 25 from sliding back and forth when it moves back and forth.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the reciprocating assembly 26 includes a drive motor 261, a rotating shaft 262, a support plate 263, a rotating disk 264, a fixed rod 265, a rotating seat 266, and a connecting rod 267. The drive motor 261 is located on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 1, the rotating shaft 262 is located on the output shaft of the drive motor 261, the support plate 263 is located on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1, the rotating shaft 262 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support plate 263, the rotating disk 264 is located at the top of the rotating shaft 262, the fixed rod 265 is located at the top of the rotating disk 264 and close to the outer side of the rotating disk 264, the rotating seat 266 is located on the right side of the right mounting plate 23, and the connecting rod 267 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixed rod 265 through a bearing. The other end of the connecting rod 267 is hinged to the inside of the rotating seat 266 through a pin.

[0031] It should be noted that when the drive motor 261 is started, the output shaft of the drive motor 261 will drive the rotating shaft 262 to rotate. The support plate 263 ensures the stability of the rotation of the rotating shaft 262. The rotating shaft 262 will drive the rotating disk 264 to rotate. The rotating disk 264 will drive the fixed rod 265 to rotate. The fixed rod 265 will drive one end of the connecting rod 267 to rotate. Under the action of the rotating seat 266, the other end of the connecting rod 267 will drive the right mounting plate 23 to move back and forth. When the right mounting plate 23 moves back and forth, under the action of the two sliding rods 21, the two sliding blocks 22, the two support blocks 24 and the left mounting plate 23, the right mounting plate 23 will drive the placement box 25 to move back and forth.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the fixing component 27 includes a fixing block 271, a connecting block 272, a positioning groove 273, a threaded rod 274, and a knob 275.

The hot air blower 31 is located at the top of the drying chamber 1 and extends into its interior, and the plurality of air outlets 32 are all opened on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 1 and extend to its bottom.

[0038] It should be noted that when drying tea leaves, the hot air blower 31 is turned on. The hot air blower 31 blows hot air to dry the tea leaves inside the placement box 25, while the air inside the placement box 25 is discharged through multiple air outlets 32 to ensure air circulation inside the drying box 1.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the front of the drying oven 1 is hinged with a door 4, and the front of the door 4 is provided with an observation window 5. Support columns 6 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the drying oven 1, and a controller 7 is provided on the right side of the drying oven 1.
