However, the trays used to hold tea leaves are stacked on top of each other, and the fans at the top cannot effectively contact the trays at the bottom, which affects the sterilization effect.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and renovate the tea fermentation room with disinfection function. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea fermentation chamber with disinfection function, which has the advantage of improving sterilization effect. It solves the problem that the existing fermentation chamber has a relatively simple disinfection method, mainly relying on the ion fan set at the top for blowing and sterilization. However, the trays used to hold tea are stacked on top of each other, and the top fan cannot effectively contact the bottom tray, which affects the sterilization effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea fermentation chamber with disinfection function, including a base;

[0008] Supports are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base;

[0009] A tray that inserts into the surface of the bracket;

[0010] The base is rotatable, and an ion fan is installed on the back of the base through an adjustment structure. Both sides of the output end of the ion fan are connected to flexible hoses, and the end of the flexible hose away from the ion fan is connected to a strip-shaped air outlet. The adjustment structure can carry the ion fan vertically up and down and continuously blow on the multi-layer tray.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment structure includes a connecting frame fixedly connected to the back of the base, a reciprocating screw is movably connected inside the connecting frame via a bearing, a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating screw, and the ion fan is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the reciprocating screw, and a toothed ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, with the toothed ring meshing with the gear.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the threaded sleeve, and a swing rod is movably connected to the surface of the connecting block via a pin. The strip-shaped air outlet is fixedly connected to the surface of the swing rod.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw sleeve, and both ends of the support plate are movably connected to a rotating wheel via pins. A sleeve plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rocker arm, and a sliding rod located inside the sleeve plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating wheel. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the sleeve plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the bottom of the screw sleeve is movably connected to a drive wheel sleeved on the surface of a reciprocating screw via a bearing. The surface of the reciprocating screw has a groove, and the inner surface of the drive wheel extends into the groove and slides against the screw. The bottom of the rotating wheel is fixedly connected to driven wheels located on both sides of the drive wheel, and the driven wheels mesh with the drive wheel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses the base to rotate and drive the multi-layer trays to rotate synchronously, so that the positions of the trays at different heights change dynamically, breaking the blind spot of bottom disinfection caused by traditional fixed stacking. Combined with the vertical lifting function of the ion fan, it realizes the layer-by-layer blowing of multi-layer trays and dynamically covers all stacking heights.

[0018] 2. This utility model achieves precise vertical lifting and lowering of the ion fan through threaded transmission, with a stable and controllable motion trajectory. It avoids the offset problem of traditional chain or belt transmission, ensures the coaxiality of the reciprocating screw and the base during rotation, reduces the impact of mechanical vibration on the disinfection process, and extends the equipment life.

[0019] 3. When the base rotates, the gear ring drives the reciprocating screw to rotate, eliminating the need for an additional motor to control the lifting and lowering. This achieves multi-functional linkage from a single power source. The meshing of the gear ring and the gear ensures strict synchronization between the base rotation and the reciprocating screw rotation, avoiding sterilization dead zones caused by the mismatch between the lifting speed and the tray rotation speed.

[0020] 4. This utility model uses a swing arm to connect the strip-shaped air nozzle, which swings horizontally synchronously during vertical lifting and lowering, expanding the horizontal sweeping range of the ion wind. The swing arm automatically adjusts the tilt angle as the screw sleeve rises and falls, ensuring that the air nozzle is always facing the tray surface, thus improving the contact efficiency between the airflow and the tray.

[0021] 5. This utility model converts the rotational motion of the wheel into the reciprocating swing of the swing arm by sliding the slide rod inside the sleeve plate, forming a stable periodic transverse sweeping. The sliding cooperation between the sleeve plate and the slide rod reduces mechanical impact and avoids vibration or jamming of the swing arm during high-speed movement.

[0022] 6. This utility model uses a groove to slide with a reciprocating screw, which transmits the rotational power of the screw to the driven wheel, driving the rotating wheel to rotate, thereby achieving coordinated control of the swing arm swing and the screw sleeve lifting and lowering. The driven wheels on both sides of the driving wheel are symmetrically meshed to ensure that the rotating wheel rotates synchronously in both directions, avoiding mechanical wear caused by uneven force on one side of the swing arm.

[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a tea fermentation chamber with disinfection function, including a base 1;

[0030] The brackets 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base 1;

[0031] Tray 3 is inserted into the surface of bracket 2;

[0032] The base 1 is rotatable. An ion fan 4 is installed on the back of the base 1 through an adjustment structure. Both sides of the output end of the ion fan 4 are connected to flexible hoses 5. The end of the flexible hose 5 away from the ion fan 4 is connected to a strip-shaped air outlet 6. The adjustment structure can carry the ion fan 4 to vertically lift and continuously blow on the multi-layer tray 3.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 The adjustment structure includes a connecting frame 7 fixedly connected to the back of the base 1. A reciprocating screw 8 is movably connected inside the connecting frame 7 via a bearing. A threaded sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating screw 8. The ion fan 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded sleeve 9.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the ion fan 4 is precisely vertically lifted and lowered through threaded transmission, and the motion trajectory is stable and controllable. This avoids the offset problem of traditional chain or belt transmission, ensures the coaxiality of the reciprocating screw 8 and the base 1 when they rotate, reduces the impact of mechanical vibration on the disinfection process, and extends the equipment life.

[0035] refer to Figure 3 A gear 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the reciprocating screw 8, and a gear ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. The gear ring 11 and the gear 10 mesh with each other.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, when the base 1 rotates, the gear ring 11 drives the gear 10 to drive the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate, eliminating the need for an additional motor to control the lifting and lowering, and realizing multi-functional linkage of a single power source. The meshing of the gear ring 11 and the gear 10 ensures strict synchronization between the rotation of the base 1 and the rotation of the reciprocating screw 8, avoiding disinfection dead corners caused by the mismatch between the lifting speed and the rotation speed of the tray 3.

[0037] refer to Figure 4Connecting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the screw sleeve 9. The surface of the connecting block 12 is movably connected to the swing rod 13 via a pin. The strip-shaped air outlet 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the swing rod 13.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bar-shaped air outlet 6 is movably connected by the swing rod 13, which allows the bar-shaped air outlet 6 to swing horizontally synchronously during vertical lifting and lowering, thereby expanding the horizontal sweeping range of the ion wind. The swing rod 13 automatically adjusts the tilt angle as it rises and falls with the screw sleeve 9, ensuring that the air outlet is always facing the surface of the tray 3, thereby improving the contact efficiency between the airflow and the tray 3.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the screw sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to a support plate 14. Both ends of the support plate 14 are movably connected to a rotating wheel 15 via pins. The bottom of the rocker arm 13 is fixedly connected to a sleeve plate 16. The top of the rotating wheel 15 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 17 located inside the sleeve plate 16. The sliding rod 17 is slidably connected to the sleeve plate 16.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the rotational motion of the wheel 15 is converted into the reciprocating swing of the swing arm 13 by the sliding of the slide rod 17 within the sleeve plate 16, forming a stable periodic transverse sweeping air. The sliding cooperation between the sleeve plate 16 and the slide rod 17 reduces mechanical impact and avoids vibration or jamming of the swing arm 13 during high-speed movement.

[0041] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the screw sleeve 9 is movably connected to the driving wheel 18, which is sleeved on the surface of the reciprocating screw 8, via a bearing. The surface of the reciprocating screw 8 is provided with a groove 19. The inner surface of the driving wheel 18 extends into the groove 19 and slides against the screw. The bottom of the rotating wheel 15 is fixedly connected to driven wheels 20 located on both sides of the driving wheel 18. The driven wheels 20 mesh with the driving wheel 18.

[0042] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the groove 19 is slidably connected to the reciprocating screw 8, and the rotational power of the screw is transmitted to the driven wheel 20, which drives the rotating wheel 15 to rotate, thereby realizing the coordinated control of the swing arm 13 swinging and the screw sleeve 9 lifting. The driven wheels 20 on both sides of the driving wheel 18 are symmetrically meshed to ensure that the rotating wheel 15 rotates synchronously in both directions, avoiding mechanical wear caused by uneven force on one side of the swing arm 13.

[0043] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the equipment is started, the base 1 begins to rotate under the drive of external power, which drives the gear ring 11 fixed at its bottom to rotate synchronously. The gear ring 11 meshes with the gear 10 at the bottom of the reciprocating screw 8, converting the rotational motion of the base 1 into the rotation of the reciprocating screw 8. During the rotation of the reciprocating screw 8, the threaded sleeve 9 is driven to rise and fall vertically along the reciprocating screw 8. The sleeve 9 is fixed to the ion fan 4, so the ion fan 4 moves up and down with the sleeve 9, covering the vertical space of the multi-layer tray 3. During the rotation of the reciprocating screw 8, the drive wheel 18 at the bottom of the sleeve 9 rotates with the reciprocating screw 8, driving the driven wheels on both sides through meshing. The rotating wheel 20 rotates, driving the rotating wheel 15 to rotate. The sliding rod 17 at the top of the rotating wheel 15 slides in the sleeve plate 16 at the bottom of the swing rod 13, forcing the swing rod 13 to swing left and right with the pin as the fulcrum. The swing of the swing rod 13 causes the strip-shaped air outlet 6 fixed on its surface to swing laterally while rising and falling vertically, expanding the blowing range. The disinfecting airflow generated by the ion fan 4 is delivered to the swinging strip-shaped air outlet 6 through the hose 5. As the base 1 continues to rotate, the tea leaves on the multi-layer tray 3 constantly change position. At the same time, the rising and falling and swinging of the air outlet forms a three-dimensional dynamic disinfection path, ensuring that the ion air evenly covers the surface of each layer of tray 3, including the bottom area that is traditionally difficult to reach.

[0044] In summary, this tea fermentation chamber with disinfection function uses the rotation of the base 1 to drive the multi-layer trays 3 to rotate synchronously, so that the positions of the trays 3 at different heights change dynamically, breaking the blind spot of bottom disinfection caused by traditional fixed stacking. Combined with the vertical lifting function of the ion fan 4, it realizes the layer-by-layer blowing of the multi-layer trays 3, dynamically covering all stacking heights.
